This optimization achieves a **27× speedup (2625%)** by eliminating redundant work on every function call. The key improvement moves version parsing from runtime to module import time. **What Changed:** - Created a module-level set `_SUPPORTED_DILL_RELEASES` that pre-parses the five supported version strings once at import - Changed the function to perform a simple membership check against this precomputed set instead of parsing versions on every call **Why It's Faster:** The original implementation called `version.parse()` five times on every invocation, which is expensive: - Each `version.parse()` call takes ~9,000-11,000 nanoseconds per the line profiler - This totaled ~42 million nanoseconds across profiled calls - The optimized version reduces this to a single dictionary/set lookup (~800 nanoseconds per call) Python's `version.parse()` performs string parsing, validation, and object construction - operations that are unnecessary when checking against a fixed set of versions. By doing this work once at import time and using a set for O(1) membership testing, we avoid approximately 40-50 microseconds of overhead per call. **Test Performance:** The optimization shows consistent 16-36× speedups across all test scenarios: - Basic supported/unsupported checks: 1650-2100% faster - Pre-release variants: 2300-3600% faster - Large-scale tests (200 iterations): 3400% faster - Boundary cases: 1600-2500% faster The speedup is most dramatic for supported versions (which previously parsed all five versions before finding a match) and scales particularly well with repeated calls, making this optimization valuable for any hot path that performs frequent version checks.
