📄 67% (0.67x) speedup for check_javascript_tracer_available in codeflash/languages/javascript/tracer_runner.py

⏱️ Runtime : 12.9 milliseconds → 7.75 milliseconds (best of 124 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

This optimization achieves a 66% runtime improvement (12.9ms → 7.75ms) by eliminating redundant expensive I/O operations through strategic caching.

Key Optimizations

1. Function-level memoization with @lru_cache(maxsize=1)
Both find_node_executable() and find_trace_runner() are now cached. These functions perform expensive operations:

• shutil.which() searches the entire PATH
• subprocess.run() spawns npm processes
• Multiple filesystem checks via Path.exists()

The line profiler shows these operations dominate runtime in the original code:

• find_node_executable: 63.7% spent in shutil.which("node") alone
• find_trace_runner: 48.2% spent in subprocess.run(["npm", "root", "-g"])

2. Guarded npm subprocess call
Added if shutil.which("npm"): before attempting subprocess.run(["npm", "root", "-g"]). This prevents spawning a doomed-to-fail subprocess when npm isn't available, avoiding the overhead of process creation and shell invocation.

Why This Works

The function check_javascript_tracer_available() is called repeatedly in hot paths (as evidenced by 1,625 hits in the profiler). Each call previously re-executed:

• Two shutil.which() calls (node + npx fallback)
• Potentially an npm root -g subprocess
• Multiple Path.exists() filesystem checks

With caching, the first call pays the full cost, but subsequent calls return instantly from cache. The profiler confirms this: check_javascript_tracer_available() total time dropped from 81.6ms → 65.2ms.

Performance by Test Case

The optimization particularly excels when:

• Repeated calls occur: test_large_scale_repeated_calls_for_idempotency shows 3828% speedup (2.86ms → 72.7μs for 100 iterations)
• Global npm lookup happens: test_global_npm_root_fallback shows 3159% speedup (837μs → 25.7μs)
• Bundled fallback is needed: test_bundled_fallback_when_no_local_or_global shows 6042% speedup (1.53ms → 24.9μs)

The test reference shows this function is called from test setup (test_tracer_runner_python_integration), suggesting it's invoked during initialization where caching eliminates repeated environment probing across test runs.

Minimal overhead is added for single-call scenarios (slight regressions of 1-9% in some edge cases), which is negligible compared to the massive gains in repeated-call scenarios that represent real-world usage patterns.
