📄 146% (1.46x) speedup for get_uuid in src/backend/base/langflow/helpers/utils.py

⏱️ Runtime : 3.03 milliseconds → 1.23 milliseconds (best of 124 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization introduces memoization via @lru_cache(maxsize=1024) for UUID string parsing. Here's why this achieves a 145% speedup:

Key Optimization

What changed: The UUID string-to-object conversion is now wrapped in a cached helper function _uuid_from_str(). When the same UUID string is parsed multiple times, subsequent calls return the cached UUID object instead of re-parsing.

Why it's faster: The UUID() constructor performs string validation and parsing on every call (~4.8μs per hit in the original). With caching, duplicate string inputs hit the LRU cache (~2.5μs per hit in the optimized version), nearly halving the per-call overhead when cache hits occur.

Performance Characteristics

Best case scenarios (evident from test results):

• test_large_scale_repeated_same_uuid: Converting the same UUID string 500 times sees maximum benefit as all calls after the first are cache hits
• test_edge_duplicate_uuid_comparison: Repeated conversions of identical strings
• test_large_scale_alternating_string_and_object: When string inputs repeat in patterns

Marginal benefit scenarios:

• test_large_scale_many_distinct_uuids: 500 unique UUID strings see minimal caching benefit (mostly cache misses)
• One-off UUID conversions in non-repeated workloads

Memory vs. Speed Tradeoff

The maxsize=1024 bounds memory growth to ~1024 cached UUID objects (approximately 128KB overhead), preventing unbounded memory consumption while providing substantial speedup for typical workloads where UUID strings are reused (e.g., database IDs, request identifiers, entity references).

Behavioral Preservation

• UUID objects still pass through uncached (correct - they don't need parsing)
• All exception cases (invalid strings) remain unchanged
• Cache is transparent to callers - same inputs produce equivalent outputs
