📄 127% (1.27x) speedup for
is_remote_uriinxarray/core/utils.py⏱️ Runtime :
3.48 milliseconds→1.54 milliseconds(best of19runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization replaces the regex-based pattern matching approach with a pre-compiled regex pattern and changes from
re.search()tore.match()withis not Nonecheck.Key optimizations applied:
Pre-compiled regex pattern: The regex pattern
r"^[a-z][a-z0-9]*(\://|\:\:)"is compiled once at module import time and stored in_PATTERN_REMOTE_URI, eliminating the overhead of recompiling the pattern on every function call.Switched from
re.search()tore.match(): Since the pattern already starts with^(beginning of string anchor),re.match()is more efficient as it only checks from the start of the string rather than searching through the entire string.Explicit
is not Nonecomparison: Replacedbool()conversion with directis not Nonecheck, which is slightly more efficient and clearer.Why this leads to speedup:
re.search()with a string pattern compiles the regex on every call, which is expensive for frequently called functions.re.match()is faster thanre.search()for patterns anchored at the beginning since it doesn't need to scan the entire string.Impact on workloads:
Based on the function references,
is_remote_uri()is called in critical paths within xarray's backend system:_get_default_engine()and_get_mtime()_normalize_path()and_find_absolute_paths()These functions are likely called during dataset opening and file operations, making this optimization particularly valuable for workloads that process many files or repeatedly check URI types.
Test case performance:
The optimization shows consistent 50-250% speedups across all test scenarios, with particularly strong performance on:
re.match()fails faster on invalid inputs✅ Correctness verification report:
