⚡️ Speed up method BaseArangoService.get_user_kb_permission by 205%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 205% (2.05x) speedup for BaseArangoService.get_user_kb_permission in backend/python/app/connectors/services/base_arango_service.py

⏱️ Runtime : 10.2 milliseconds → 3.34 milliseconds (best of 173 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized version achieves a 204% speedup (from 10.2ms to 3.34ms) primarily through conditional logging optimizations and reduced string formatting overhead.

Key Performance Optimizations:

1. Conditional Logging with Level Checks: The original code always executed expensive f-string formatting for logging, even when logging levels might filter them out. The optimization adds hasattr(self.logger, "isEnabledFor") and self.logger.isEnabledFor(20) checks before constructing log messages, eliminating unnecessary string formatting when INFO-level logging is disabled.

2. Lazy Debug Data Construction: The most significant improvement comes from avoiding the expensive list(debug_cursor) operation when debug logging is disabled. Instead of always materializing the entire debug permissions list (line consuming 17.7% of original runtime), the optimized version only constructs this list when actually needed for logging. When not logging, it simply drains the cursor with a lightweight loop.

3. String Reference Pre-computation: User and KB references (f'users/{user_id}' and f'recordGroups/{kb_id}') are pre-computed once and reused in bind variables, reducing repeated string construction.

4. Reduced Constant Access: CollectionNames.PERMISSIONS_TO_KB.value is cached in a local variable to avoid repeated attribute lookups.

Performance Impact Analysis:

• Runtime: 67% reduction (10.2ms → 3.34ms)
• Throughput: 13.1% improvement (160,191 → 181,131 ops/sec)

The line profiler shows the biggest wins came from eliminating the expensive debug logging operations (lines that consumed 29.5% + 17.7% = 47.2% of original runtime) and reducing logging-related string formatting overhead throughout the function.

Test Case Performance: The optimization is particularly effective for scenarios where permissions are not found (672 out of 1047 calls in the profiled run), as these trigger the debug logging path that was most expensive in the original implementation.

Workload Suitability: This optimization benefits any high-frequency permission checking workloads, especially in production environments where detailed debug logging may be disabled, making the conditional logging checks highly effective.
