📄 12% (0.12x) speedup for
get_local_ip_by_nicinpython/sglang/srt/utils/common.py⏱️ Runtime :
4.97 milliseconds→4.42 milliseconds(best of110runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 12% speedup through two key micro-optimizations:
1. Avoiding walrus operator overhead: The original code used
if not (interface := interface or os.environ.get("SGLANG_LOCAL_IP_NIC", None)):which performs the assignment and boolean check in one expression. The optimized version splits this into explicit checks: first checking ifinterface is None, then getting the environment variable only when needed. This eliminates the walrus operator's overhead and avoids the unnecessaryos.environ.get()call when an interface is already provided.2. Optimized IPv6 zone ID handling: The original code always called
ip.split("%")[0]for IPv6 addresses, even when no zone ID was present. The optimized version first checksif '%' in ip:before splitting, avoiding the string split operation when unnecessary. When splitting is needed, it usessplit('%', 1)[0]to limit to one split operation.Performance impact: Based on the function reference,
get_local_ip_by_nic()is called fromget_local_ip_auto()as a fallback method for IP detection. This suggests it's in a moderately hot path for network initialization. The test results show consistent 1-9% improvements across various scenarios, with the largest gains (5-8%) occurring in IPv6 handling cases where the zone ID optimization provides the most benefit.Test case benefits: The optimizations perform best with IPv6 addresses (especially those with zone IDs) and scenarios with multiple address resolution attempts, making the function more efficient for complex network configurations common in distributed systems.
