📄 23% (0.23x) speedup for is_valid_cidr in src/requests/utils.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.66 milliseconds 1.34 milliseconds (best of 193 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces inefficient string operations with a single, more efficient parsing approach:

Key Changes:

  • Replaced .count("/") + multiple .split("/") calls with .partition('/'): The original code calls string_network.split("/") twice - once to extract the mask and once to extract the IP address. The optimized version uses partition('/') which splits the string into exactly three parts (before slash, slash, after slash) in a single operation.

Why This is Faster:

  • Eliminates redundant string parsing: .partition() scans the string once and returns all needed components, while the original approach scans multiple times with .count() and .split().
  • Reduces object allocations: .split("/") creates a new list each time it's called, whereas .partition() creates a single tuple with fixed size.
  • More direct validation: Checking sep != '/' directly validates the slash presence instead of counting occurrences.

Performance Characteristics:
The optimization shows consistent 20-30% speedups across most test cases, particularly excelling with:

  • Valid CIDR inputs (24-30% faster): Where both IP validation and mask parsing occur
  • Invalid mask scenarios (20-28% faster): Still benefits from efficient initial parsing
  • Large-scale operations (25-32% faster): The reduced per-call overhead compounds significantly

The optimization maintains identical behavior and error handling while reducing string processing overhead, making it especially beneficial for applications that validate many CIDR strings.

The optimization replaces inefficient string operations with a single, more efficient parsing approach:

**Key Changes:**
- **Replaced `.count("/")` + multiple `.split("/")` calls with `.partition('/')`**: The original code calls `string_network.split("/")` twice - once to extract the mask and once to extract the IP address. The optimized version uses `partition('/')` which splits the string into exactly three parts (before slash, slash, after slash) in a single operation.

**Why This is Faster:**
- **Eliminates redundant string parsing**: `.partition()` scans the string once and returns all needed components, while the original approach scans multiple times with `.count()` and `.split()`.
- **Reduces object allocations**: `.split("/")` creates a new list each time it's called, whereas `.partition()` creates a single tuple with fixed size.
- **More direct validation**: Checking `sep != '/'` directly validates the slash presence instead of counting occurrences.

**Performance Characteristics:**
The optimization shows consistent 20-30% speedups across most test cases, particularly excelling with:
- **Valid CIDR inputs** (24-30% faster): Where both IP validation and mask parsing occur
- **Invalid mask scenarios** (20-28% faster): Still benefits from efficient initial parsing
- **Large-scale operations** (25-32% faster): The reduced per-call overhead compounds significantly

The optimization maintains identical behavior and error handling while reducing string processing overhead, making it especially beneficial for applications that validate many CIDR strings.
