Decimal Optimization ```python # Use Decimal context for precision control from decimal import Decimal, getcontext getcontext().prec = 10 # Set precision once # Reuse Decimal objects ZERO = Decimal("0") ONE = Decimal("1") HUNDRED = Decimal("100") # Avoid string conversion in loops # ❌ Slow for i in range(1000): d = Decimal(str(i)) # ✅ Faster for i in range(1000): d = Decimal(i) # Direct int conversion ``` ### 2. Async Optimization ```python # Use asyncio.gather for parallel operations async def fetch_all_accounts(): tasks = [fetch_account(acc) for acc in accounts] results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions=True) return [r for r in results if not isinstance(r, Exception)] # Use asyncio.create_task for fire-and-forget async def process_with_logging(): task = asyncio.create_task(log_async()) result = await expensive_operation() await task return result ``` ### 3. Memory Optimization ```python # Use generators for large datasets def iter_trades(csv_file): with open(csv_file) as f: for line in f: yield parse_trade(line) # Process without loading all in memory for trade in iter_trades('data.csv'): process(trade) # Use __slots__ for memory-efficient classes class Trade: __slots__ = ['symbol', 'quantity', 'price'] def __init__(self, symbol, quantity, price): self.symbol = symbol self.quantity = quantity self.price = price ``` ### 4. Algorithm Optimization ```python # ❌ O(n²) - Nested loops for trade1 in trades: for trade2 in trades: if trade1.symbol == trade2.symbol: # ... # ✅ O(n) - Use dictionaries from collections import defaultdict by_symbol = defaultdict(list) for trade in trades: by_symbol[trade.symbol].append(trade) ``` ### 5. Pandas Optimization ```python # Use vectorized operations import pandas as pd # ❌ Slow: Row-by-row for idx, row in df.iterrows(): df.at[idx, 'pnl'] = row['price'] * row['quantity'] # ✅ Fast: Vectorized df['pnl'] = df['price'] * df['quantity'] # Use efficient dtypes df['symbol'] = df['symbol'].astype('category') # Save memory df['price'] = df['price'].astype('float64') # Faster than Decimal for pandas ``` ## Profiling Commands ### Full Application Profile ```bash # Profile main analysis script python -m cProfile -o analysis.prof scripts/analyze_portfolio.py # View results python -c "import pstats; p = pstats.Stats('analysis.prof'); p.sort_stats('cumulative').print_stats(30)" ``` ### API Performance Test ```bash # Time API fetch time python -c " from ib_sec_mcp.api.client import FlexQueryClient from datetime import date, timedelta client = FlexQueryClient(query_id='...', token='...') stmt = client.fetch_statement(date.today() - timedelta(days=30), date.today()) print(f'Fetched {len(stmt.raw_data)} bytes') " ``` ### Parser Benchmark ```bash # Benchmark CSV parsing python -m timeit -n 100 -r 5 -s " from ib_sec_mcp.core.parsers import CSVParser import pathlib csv_file = pathlib.Path('data/raw/latest.csv') " " parser = CSVParser() account = parser.to_account(csv_file) " ``` ### Analyzer Performance ```bash # Profile specific analyzer python -m cProfile -s cumulative -c " from ib_sec_mcp.analyzers.performance import PerformanceAnalyzer from ib_sec_mcp.core.parsers import CSVParser import pathlib csv_file = pathlib.Path('data/raw/latest.csv') parser = CSVParser() account = parser.to_account(csv_file) analyzer = PerformanceAnalyzer(account) result = analyzer.analyze() " ``` ### Memory Profile ```bash # Track memory usage python -c " import tracemalloc from ib_sec_mcp.core.parsers import CSVParser import pathlib tracemalloc.start() csv_file = pathlib.Path('data/raw/latest.csv') parser = CSVParser() account = parser.to_account(csv_file) current, peak = tracemalloc.get_traced_memory() print(f'Current: {current / 1024 / 1024:.2f} MB') print(f'Peak: {peak / 1024 / 1024:.2f} MB') tracemalloc.stop() " ``` ## Output Format ``` === Performance Analysis === 📊 Profiling Results Top 10 Slowest Functions: 1. calculate_ytm (bond.py:45) - Calls: 1,234 - Total Time: 2.45s - Avg: 1.99ms/call ⚠️ Consider caching results 2. parse_csv_section (parsers.py:89) - Calls: 456 - Total Time: 1.23s - Avg: 2.70ms/call ✓ Acceptable for I/O operation 3.
