⚡️ Speed up method PropertyValueDict.clear by 8%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 8% (0.08x) speedup for PropertyValueDict.clear in src/bokeh/core/property/wrappers.py

⏱️ Runtime : 145 microseconds → 134 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves an 8% speedup by eliminating Python's method resolution overhead in two critical areas of the PropertyValueDict class:

Key Optimizations:

1. Direct Constructor Calls: Instead of using super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) which triggers Python's Method Resolution Order (MRO) lookup, the optimized version directly calls each parent class constructor:

   • PropertyValueContainer.__init__(self)
   • dict.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

   This avoids the MRO dispatch mechanism that must determine which parent's __init__ to call in the multiple inheritance hierarchy.

2. Direct Method Invocation: The clear() method replaces super().clear() with dict.clear(self), bypassing the super() proxy object and directly invoking the C-implemented dict method.

Why This Speeds Things Up:

• super() creates a proxy object and performs dynamic method lookup through the MRO chain, adding Python-level overhead
• Direct method calls on built-in types like dict execute at C speed without Python dispatch overhead
• The optimization is most effective for frequently called methods on built-in container types

Performance Impact Based on Tests:
The annotated tests show consistent 8-28% improvements across all scenarios, with the largest gains (20-28%) occurring in cases with:

• Non-empty dictionaries being cleared
• Complex value types (nested dicts, mixed types)
• Bulk operations followed by clear

The optimization is particularly valuable since PropertyValueDict is a wrapper around Python's built-in dict and these methods may be called frequently in property update scenarios within the Bokeh framework.
