The optimized code achieves a 14% speedup through several key micro-optimizations that reduce redundant operations and leverage faster type checking:
**Key Optimizations:**
1. **Single `.lower()` call**: The original code called `method_name.lower()` in the condition, but the optimized version stores it once as `method_l` and reuses it, eliminating duplicate string operations.
2. **Early returns**: Added explicit `return` statements after finding keys, avoiding unnecessary condition checks. This is particularly effective for multi-key commands and args-based lookups.
3. **Faster type checking**: Replaced `isinstance(v, (dict, list, tuple))` with direct type comparisons `t is list or t is tuple or t is dict`. The `type()` function with identity checks (`is`) is faster than `isinstance()` for exact type matching.
4. **Optimized kwargs access**: Changed `"key" in kwargs` + `kwargs["key"]` pattern to `kwargs.get("key", None)`, reducing dictionary lookups from two to one.
5. **Faster emptiness check**: Replaced `len(kwargs["key"]) > 0` with simple truthiness test `if k:`, which is faster for checking non-empty collections.
**Performance Impact by Test Case:**
- **Largest gains** (30-65% faster): kwargs-based operations, especially with tuples and None values
- **Moderate gains** (15-25% faster): args with collections (lists, tuples, dicts)
- **Minimal impact**: Multi-key commands and large-scale operations show smaller or sometimes slight regressions due to the additional variable assignments, but the overall benefit across typical usage patterns is positive
The optimizations are most effective for common Redis/Django caching scenarios involving single keys or small collections, where the reduced function call overhead and eliminated redundant operations provide meaningful performance improvements.
