📄 10% (0.10x) speedup for
bittrade.parse_tradeinpython/ccxt/bittrade.py⏱️ Runtime :
2.17 milliseconds→1.97 milliseconds(best of43runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 10% speedup through targeted optimizations of frequently-called methods that handle dictionary access and data conversion - critical operations in cryptocurrency trading data parsing.
Key Performance Optimizations:
Dictionary initialization batching: Replaced individual
dict() if attr is None else attrchecks with a loop over attribute names, reducing repetitive attribute lookups and dictionary creation overhead during Exchange object construction.Direct dictionary access optimization: Rewrote
safe_stringto use try-catch for dictionary access instead of callingExchange.key_exists(), eliminating an extra method call and conditional check per access. Added empty string handling for trading data edge cases.Inlined safe_string_2 and safe_integer_2: Eliminated calls to
safe_either()helper by implementing the two-key lookup logic directly, avoiding function call overhead and intermediate object creation. These methods are heavily used in trade parsing (called 83+ times per test run).Optimized datetime formatting: In
iso8601(), replaceddatetime.fromtimestamp()withutcfromtimestamp()and pre-computed milliseconds separately to reduce string slicing operations and improve timestamp conversion performance.Local method references: In
safe_trade()andparse_trade(), cached frequently-used methods likeself.safe_stringas local variables to avoid repeated attribute lookups during trade parsing loops.Precise class optimizations: Simplified scientific notation parsing and reduced temporary object creation in
string_mulandstring_eqmethods.Impact on Trading Workloads:
These optimizations particularly benefit high-frequency trading scenarios where thousands of trades are parsed rapidly. The test results show consistent 6-14% improvements across various trade parsing scenarios, with the biggest gains on edge cases involving missing fields or complex fee calculations. Since cryptocurrency exchanges process millions of trades daily, these micro-optimizations compound to significant performance improvements in real-world trading applications.
The optimizations maintain full API compatibility while targeting Python's attribute lookup and method call overhead - common bottlenecks in data-intensive financial applications.
