⚡️ Speed up method AsyncV1SocketClient._process_message by 92%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 92% (0.92x) speedup for AsyncV1SocketClient._process_message in src/deepgram/speak/v1/socket_client.py

⏱️ Runtime : 2.19 microseconds → 1.14 microseconds (best of 57 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 92% speedup by eliminating method call overhead and streamlining control flow in the hot path _process_message method.

Key optimizations:

1. Inlined type checking: Instead of calling self._is_binary_message() which adds method call overhead, the isinstance() checks are moved directly into _process_message. This eliminates the function call that was consuming 71.5% of the original runtime (7676ns out of 10732ns).

2. Removed intermediate method calls: The _handle_binary_message() call is eliminated since it was just returning the message unchanged. Binary messages now return directly as raw_message, True.

3. Streamlined JSON handling: The _handle_json_message method now combines json.loads() and parse_obj_as() in a single return statement, reducing local variable assignments and lookups.

Performance impact: The line profiler shows the optimized version completes in 1.463μs vs 10.732μs for the original - the method call overhead and intermediate processing were the primary bottlenecks.

Test case effectiveness: This optimization particularly benefits scenarios with frequent binary message processing (like the test_process_message_many_binaries and test_process_message_alternating_types tests), where the method call overhead would compound across many iterations. The optimization maintains identical functionality for both binary and JSON message types while dramatically reducing per-message processing latency.
