📄 16% (0.16x) speedup for DigitalBitboxPlugin.get_client in electrum/plugins/digitalbitbox/digitalbitbox.py

⏱️ Runtime : 469 microseconds 404 microseconds (best of 58 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization caches the device manager reference during initialization instead of calling the device_manager() method on every get_client() invocation.

Key Changes:

  • Added self._device_manager = self.parent.device_manager in HW_PluginBase.__init__()
  • Changed devmgr = self.device_manager() to devmgr = self._device_manager in get_client()

Why This Speeds Up Performance:
The original code called self.device_manager() method every time get_client() was invoked. Method calls in Python have overhead due to:

  1. Method resolution through the MRO (Method Resolution Order)
  2. Function call setup and teardown
  3. Potential property getter execution

By caching self.parent.device_manager as a direct attribute during initialization, the hot path in get_client() becomes a simple attribute lookup instead of a method call, which is significantly faster in Python.

Performance Impact:
The line profiler shows the device_manager() call took 24.8% of execution time in the original version, reduced to just 10% for the equivalent line in the optimized version. This represents the primary bottleneck that was eliminated.

Test Results Analysis:
All test cases show consistent 5-16% speedups, with the largest improvements (12-16%) occurring in scenarios with multiple calls to get_client(), validating that this optimization is most beneficial when the method is called repeatedly - exactly the use case this caching strategy targets.

The optimization maintains identical behavior while eliminating unnecessary method call overhead on every invocation of a frequently-used hardware wallet function.

The optimization caches the device manager reference during initialization instead of calling the `device_manager()` method on every `get_client()` invocation.

**Key Changes:**
- Added `self._device_manager = self.parent.device_manager` in `HW_PluginBase.__init__()`
- Changed `devmgr = self.device_manager()` to `devmgr = self._device_manager` in `get_client()`

**Why This Speeds Up Performance:**
The original code called `self.device_manager()` method every time `get_client()` was invoked. Method calls in Python have overhead due to:
1. Method resolution through the MRO (Method Resolution Order)
2. Function call setup and teardown
3. Potential property getter execution

By caching `self.parent.device_manager` as a direct attribute during initialization, the hot path in `get_client()` becomes a simple attribute lookup instead of a method call, which is significantly faster in Python.

**Performance Impact:**
The line profiler shows the `device_manager()` call took 24.8% of execution time in the original version, reduced to just 10% for the equivalent line in the optimized version. This represents the primary bottleneck that was eliminated.

**Test Results Analysis:**
All test cases show consistent 5-16% speedups, with the largest improvements (12-16%) occurring in scenarios with multiple calls to `get_client()`, validating that this optimization is most beneficial when the method is called repeatedly - exactly the use case this caching strategy targets.

The optimization maintains identical behavior while eliminating unnecessary method call overhead on every invocation of a frequently-used hardware wallet function.
