📄 12% (0.12x) speedup for `discover_functions_from_source` in `codeflash/languages/java/discovery.py`

⏱️ Runtime : 21.3 milliseconds → 19.0 milliseconds (best of 19 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

This optimization achieves an 11% runtime improvement (from 21.3ms to 19.0ms) through several targeted changes to the Java code discovery pipeline:

Key Optimizations

1. Module-Level Import Hoisting

The fnmatch module is now imported once at the module level instead of being conditionally imported inside _should_include_method on every pattern check. This eliminates repeated import overhead when filtering methods with include/exclude patterns, as shown in the line profiler where pattern matching checks were consuming ~5-11% of total time in the original code.

2. Default Path Pre-computation

The fallback Path("unknown.java") is now computed once before the loop (default_file_path = file_path or Path("unknown.java")) rather than 1,224 times inside the loop. The line profiler shows this change reduced time spent on the file_path assignment from 12.2% to 0.3% of total function time - a critical improvement since this line was the second-most expensive operation in the original code.

3. Early Exit Reordering in Filters

The include_methods check is moved earlier in _should_include_method, before the more expensive pattern matching operations. This allows the function to exit early for methods that should be excluded due to being class methods, avoiding unnecessary fnmatch calls. The line count calculation is also made conditional - only computed when min_lines or max_lines criteria are actually set, reducing unnecessary arithmetic for 1,022 out of 1,341 invocations.

Performance Impact by Test Case

The optimizations particularly benefit scenarios with:

Multiple methods with patterns: 9-31% faster (e.g., test_large_scale_many_methods_under_limit shows 29.9% improvement)
File path handling: Tests that provide explicit paths see consistent 3-18% improvements
Line count filtering: 18.6% faster when min/max line criteria are active

Tests that regressed slightly (showing slower times) are edge cases with very few methods where the overhead of the additional conditional check (if criteria.min_lines is not None or criteria.max_lines is not None) marginally exceeds savings, but these represent atypical usage with only 1-2 methods.

Why This Matters

While individual micro-optimizations are small, they compound significantly in the hot loop that processes all discovered methods. With 1,650+ method invocations in typical runs, eliminating repeated imports, reducing object allocations, and enabling early exits creates measurable aggregate savings. The 11% runtime improvement demonstrates how loop-level optimizations scale effectively for Java codebases with many methods.
