⚡️ Speed up function get_default_language by 23%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 23% (0.23x) speedup for get_default_language in electrum/gui/default_lang.py

⏱️ Runtime : 64.1 microseconds → 51.9 microseconds (best of 61 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization eliminates redundant local imports of QLocale within the function branches. In the original code, from PyQt6.QtCore import QLocale was imported twice inside conditional blocks (lines with 12.6% and 0% time respectively), even though QLocale was already imported at module level.

The key change removes these redundant local imports:

• Removed from PyQt6.QtCore import QLocale from the "qt" branch
• Removed from PyQt6.QtCore import QLocale from the "qml" branch

This eliminates the import overhead that was consuming 12.6% of the original function's runtime (4.97ms out of 39.5ms total). The module-level import is sufficient since QLocale is already available in the function scope.

The optimization is most effective for the "qt" code path, showing 22-39% speedup in test cases that exercise that branch. The "qml" path also benefits (24-26% speedup) though the import overhead was smaller there. Even edge cases with empty/invalid GUI names show modest improvements (1-7% faster) due to reduced bytecode overhead.

This is a classic Python performance pattern - avoiding redundant imports within frequently called functions, especially when the module is already imported at the top level.
