From 277271d768023c988af07ed8851fa51bde41a9b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "rodrigo.nogueira" Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2026 01:38:41 -0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ## Description MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The `signature_adapter` causes significant overhead in hot transition paths due to repeated signature binding on every callback invocation. This PR implements caching for `bind_expected()` to avoid recomputing argument bindings when the kwargs pattern is unchanged. ## Root Cause The `SignatureAdapter.bind_expected()` method iterates through all parameters and matches them against the provided kwargs on every invocation. In typical state machine usage, callbacks are invoked repeatedly with the same kwargs keys (e.g., `source`, `target`, `event`), making this repeated computation wasteful. ## Fix Added a per-instance cache (`_bind_cache`) to `SignatureAdapter` that stores "binding templates" based on the arguments structure: - **Cache key**: `(len(args), frozenset(kwargs.keys()))` - **Cache value**: A template of which parameters to extract - **Fast path**: On cache hit, extract arguments directly using the template (~1 µs) - **Slow path**: First call computes full binding and stores template (~2 µs) This approach preserves **full Dependency Injection functionality** - callbacks still receive correctly filtered arguments (`source`, `target`, etc.). ## Performance When measuring `bind_expected()` in isolation: - **Cached**: 0.86 µs/call - **Uncached**: 2.12 µs/call - **Improvement**: ~59% This is consistent with the ~30% end-to-end improvement reported in #548, as binding is one of several components in a full transition. ## Testing All existing tests pass (328 passed, 9 xfailed).
