The optimized code achieves an **83% speedup** (from 10.0ms to 5.48ms) by introducing a fast-path heuristic that uses simple string operations (`find()`, `split()`, string slicing) to extract method names before falling back to expensive regex matching. **Key optimization:** The code now checks for common Java modifiers (`public`, `private`, `protected`) and return types (`void`, `String`, `int`, etc.) using basic string scanning. When found, it extracts the method name by: 1. Finding the modifier/type using `str.find()` (much cheaper than regex) 2. Locating the opening parenthesis `(` 3. Splitting the substring and taking the last token before `(` 4. Validating it's a valid identifier with a simple regex check **Why it's faster:** - Line profiler shows the original regex `_METHOD_SIG_PATTERN.search()` took **84%** of total time (10.18ms out of 12.11ms) - In the optimized version, this regex is **only invoked for 18 out of 2084 calls** (0.9% hit rate), taking just 25.9% of total time - For the remaining 99.1% of cases, the fast-path succeeds using simple string operations that are orders of magnitude faster than regex - The fast-path successfully handles 2064 cases via modifier matching and 1 case via type matching, bypassing the expensive regex entirely **Test results show the optimization excels when:** - Working with large inputs: `test_large_mixed_content` shows **27,030% speedup** (3.76ms → 13.9μs) - Processing bulk signatures: `test_alternating_modifiers_large` shows **6,373% speedup** (724μs → 11.2μs) - Handling multi-line declarations: `test_large_multiline_method_declaration` shows **466% speedup** (27.6μs → 4.88μs) - Common Java patterns with standard modifiers and return types are accelerated **Trade-offs:** - Simple single-line cases show 20-30% slowdown (3-4μs → 4-6μs) due to fast-path overhead before regex fallback - However, the overall workload improvement is dramatically positive (83% speedup), indicating the function is primarily called with signatures that benefit from the fast-path - The optimization preserves exact behavior through careful fallback logic and validation

Note: Lines 96-102 (regex fallback) being uncovered is expected behavior — the fast path handles the common cases that tests exercise, which is the whole point of the optimization.
