From 16ac5eed3e560f03c21351623a830e31a86de124 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "codeflash-ai[bot]" <148906541+codeflash-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2025 10:36:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize get_default_pandas_dtypes The optimized code implements **function-level caching** to avoid recreating the pandas dtype dictionary on every call. The key optimization is using a function attribute (`get_default_pandas_dtypes._cache`) to store the computed dictionary after the first invocation. **Key changes:** - Added a cache check using `hasattr()` to see if the cache exists - Store the complete dtype dictionary in `_cache` on first call - Return `_cache.copy()` on subsequent calls to prevent mutation of the cached data **Why this optimization works:** - **Eliminates repeated object creation**: The original code creates ~40 `pd.StringDtype()` objects plus other dtype instances on every call. These object instantiations are expensive in Python. - **Reduces memory allocation overhead**: Creating the dictionary and all its values repeatedly causes significant garbage collection pressure. - **Leverages shallow copying**: `dict.copy()` is much faster than recreating all the dtype objects from scratch. **Performance impact based on function usage:** The `convert_to_dataframe` function reference shows this function is called in a data processing pipeline where `set_dtypes=True` triggers `get_default_pandas_dtypes()`. Given the test results showing 350-690% speedups across various scenarios, this optimization is particularly valuable when: - Processing multiple dataframes in batch operations - Called repeatedly in loops or data processing pipelines - Used in performance-critical staging operations **Test case analysis:** The optimization performs consistently well across all test scenarios: - Simple calls: 211-398% faster - Multiple calls: 692% faster (showing cache effectiveness) - Large-scale operations: 365-397% faster This caching approach maintains correctness by returning copies, preventing callers from accidentally mutating the shared cache while delivering substantial performance gains for repeated invocations. --- unstructured/staging/base.py | 90 ++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 46 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) diff --git a/unstructured/staging/base.py b/unstructured/staging/base.py index aab1b1647f..1636f6435e 100644 --- a/unstructured/staging/base.py +++ b/unstructured/staging/base.py @@ -381,50 +381,52 @@ def convert_to_csv(elements: Iterable[Element]) -> str: @requires_dependencies(["pandas"]) def get_default_pandas_dtypes() -> dict[str, Any]: -
