⚡️ Speed up method Tool.from_string by 159%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 159% (1.59x) speedup for Tool.from_string in src/bokeh/models/tools.py

⏱️ Runtime : 7.82 milliseconds → 3.01 milliseconds (best of 44 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 159% speedup by eliminating redundant computations in the error handling path of Tool.from_string(), which is frequently called when processing tool configurations in Bokeh plots.

Key Optimizations:

1. Class-level caching of tool names: The original code repeatedly called cls._known_aliases.keys() and computed .lower() for each key on every error. The optimized version caches both the original tool names tuple (_known_names_tuple) and their lowercased variants (_known_names_lower) as class attributes, computed only once per class.

2. Efficient case-insensitive matching: Instead of passing known_names (which are mixed case) to difflib.get_close_matches() with name.lower(), the optimization passes the pre-computed known_names_lower list, eliminating redundant string lowering operations during fuzzy matching.

3. Import reorganization: Moved imports to standard locations for better performance.

Performance Impact by Test Case:

• Large-scale scenarios show dramatic improvements: Tests with 1000+ tools see speedups of 2900-5900% because the caching eliminates O(n) string operations on every error
• Basic error cases: 1-7% improvements due to reduced overhead
• Success cases: Minimal impact (±3%) since caching only helps error paths

Real-world Impact:
Based on the function references, Tool.from_string() is called from add_tools() in plot creation and _resolve_tools() during tool resolution. When users provide invalid tool names (common during development/configuration), this optimization prevents performance degradation that scales with the number of registered tools. The caching is particularly valuable in applications with many custom tools or when processing tool lists programmatically.
