⚡️ Speed up function `convert_bytes` by 8% by codeflash-ai[bot] · Pull Request #3 · codeflash-ai/together-python

📄 8% (0.08x) speedup for `convert_bytes` in `src/together/utils/tools.py`

⏱️ Runtime : 6.64 milliseconds → 6.17 milliseconds (best of 131 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces the slower "{:.1f} {}".format(num, unit) string formatting method with the faster f-string syntax f"{num:.1f} {unit}". This single change results in a 7% overall speedup.

Key Performance Improvement:

F-strings are significantly faster than .format() method calls because they're evaluated at compile-time rather than runtime, avoiding the overhead of method dispatch and argument parsing that .format() requires.

Why This Works:
The line profiler shows that the string formatting line (line with the return statement) drops from 497.8ns per hit to 452.3ns per hit - a 9% improvement on that specific operation. Since this line is executed 12,317 times in the profiling run, this micro-optimization compounds to meaningful performance gains.

Test Case Performance:
The optimization shows consistent improvements across all test scenarios:

Best gains on simple conversions like single bytes and boolean inputs (up to 42% faster for True input)
Consistent gains across different unit scales (KB, MB, GB, TB, PB) averaging 5-15% improvement
Batch operations benefit significantly, with the large-scale test showing 7.6% improvement when processing 1000 values
Even edge cases like negative values and large floats see 3-12% improvements

The f-string syntax maintains identical functionality and output format while providing this performance boost through more efficient string interpolation.

The optimization replaces the slower `"{:.1f} {}".format(num, unit)` string formatting method with the faster f-string syntax `f"{num:.1f} {unit}"`. This single change results in a 7% overall speedup. **Key Performance Improvement:** - F-strings are significantly faster than `.format()` method calls because they're evaluated at compile-time rather than runtime, avoiding the overhead of method dispatch and argument parsing that `.format()` requires. **Why This Works:** The line profiler shows that the string formatting line (line with the return statement) drops from 497.8ns per hit to 452.3ns per hit - a 9% improvement on that specific operation. Since this line is executed 12,317 times in the profiling run, this micro-optimization compounds to meaningful performance gains. **Test Case Performance:** The optimization shows consistent improvements across all test scenarios: - **Best gains** on simple conversions like single bytes and boolean inputs (up to 42% faster for `True` input) - **Consistent gains** across different unit scales (KB, MB, GB, TB, PB) averaging 5-15% improvement - **Batch operations** benefit significantly, with the large-scale test showing 7.6% improvement when processing 1000 values - Even **edge cases** like negative values and large floats see 3-12% improvements The f-string syntax maintains identical functionality and output format while providing this performance boost through more efficient string interpolation.
