📄 5% (0.05x) speedup for _is_force_system_dns_for_host in electrum/dns_hacks.py

⏱️ Runtime : 460 microseconds 437 microseconds (best of 209 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 5% speedup by eliminating two key performance bottlenecks:

1. Removed redundant str() conversion: The original code calls str(host) on every invocation, even when host is already a string (the common case). This conversion overhead is eliminated since the optimized version directly uses host.

2. Replaced tuple creation with pre-compiled set lookup: The original code creates a new tuple ('localhost', 'localhost.',) on every function call, then performs a linear search through it. The optimized version uses a pre-compiled module-level set _LOCALHOSTS = {'localhost', 'localhost.'} with O(1) hash-based lookups instead of O(n) tuple scanning.

Performance characteristics by test case:

  • Exact matches ('localhost', 'localhost.'): Modest 13-20% improvement due to faster set lookup
  • Non-matching strings: Dramatic 35-82% improvement because hash lookups fail fast, while tuple searches must check both elements
  • Non-string inputs: Significant 48-80% improvement since the str() conversion still occurs but benefits from the faster lookup structure

The optimization is most effective for workloads with many non-localhost hostnames (the typical case), where the combination of eliminated tuple creation and faster negative lookups provides substantial benefits.
