⚡️ Speed up function build_dict_reverse_order_index by 13%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 13% (0.13x) speedup for build_dict_reverse_order_index in nvflare/tool/job/config/config_indexer.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.34 milliseconds → 1.19 milliseconds (best of 44 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 12% speedup through several key micro-optimizations that reduce function call overhead and improve conditional checks:

What optimizations were applied:

1. Function lookup caching: Added local variable assignments (add_indices = add_to_indices, is_prim = is_primitive, has_non_prim = has_none_primitives_in_list) to avoid repeated global namespace lookups during loops.

2. Improved list emptiness check: Replaced len(value) > 0 with if value:, which is faster as it doesn't require calculating the length.

3. Streamlined isinstance checks: Consolidated isinstance(value, int) or isinstance(value, float) or isinstance(value, str) or isinstance(value, bool) into a single isinstance(value, (int, float, str, bool)) call.

4. Optimized dictionary access: Replaced key_indices.get(key, []) followed by assignment with key_indices.setdefault(key, []) in add_to_indices to reduce dictionary lookups.

5. Safer string operations: Added type checking before calling .find() method on strings to prevent potential errors.

Why these optimizations provide speedup:

• Function caching eliminates repeated global namespace lookups (visible in profiler as ~200-300ns savings per call)
• Tuple isinstance checks are more efficient than chained or conditions as they require only one function call
• if value vs len(value) > 0 avoids the overhead of length calculation for non-empty containers
• setdefault performs dictionary lookup once instead of twice (get + assignment)

Test case performance patterns:
The optimizations show consistent 8-15% improvements across all test cases, with larger gains on:

• Large flat configurations (14.7% improvement) - benefits from reduced function lookup overhead
• Multiple primitive operations (9-11% improvement) - benefits from streamlined isinstance checks
• Complex nested structures (8-13% improvement) - benefits from cumulative micro-optimizations

The optimizations are particularly effective for workloads with many primitive type checks and dictionary operations, which are common in configuration indexing scenarios.
