⚡️ Speed up method ClientApp.query by 57%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 57% (0.57x) speedup for ClientApp.query in framework/py/flwr/clientapp/client_app.py

⏱️ Runtime : 21.7 microseconds → 13.8 microseconds (best of 63 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 57% speedup by inlining the _get_decorator function directly into the query method, eliminating function call overhead that was consuming significant time in the profiling results.

Key optimizations:

1. Function call elimination: The original code called _get_decorator(self, MessageType.QUERY, action, mods) on every query() call. The optimized version inlines this logic directly, removing the function call overhead that was taking 3,851ns per hit according to the line profiler.

2. Reduced attribute lookups: Uses local variables like registered_funcs = self._registered_funcs and act = action to cache frequently accessed attributes and parameters, reducing repeated dictionary/object lookups within the inner decorator function.

3. Optimized mods concatenation: The original code used app._mods + (mods or []) which creates temporary list objects. The optimized version uses conditional logic to avoid unnecessary list concatenation when one of the lists is empty, reducing memory allocation overhead.

4. Short-circuit identifier validation: Added a fast path that skips the expensive isidentifier() method call when the action is the default "default" value, which is the most common case based on typical usage patterns.

These optimizations are particularly effective for the common case of registering query functions with default actions and no mods, which represents the majority of real-world usage patterns. The line profiler shows the total time dropped from 2.84ms to 0.69ms, demonstrating the significant impact of eliminating the function call overhead in this hot path.
