From 2a4024794eb24442ce7b3b8a6256cc514632cb9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Du Bin Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2026 12:43:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf: use sets for O(1) membership testing in local search query path MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Convert list-based membership testing to set-based across 10 call sites in 5 files within the local search context building code. Additionally, replace two O(n*m) inner loops with defaultdict index lookups: - _filter_relationships(): relationship link counting via source/target dicts - build_covariates_context(): covariate filtering via subject_id dict At 1000 entities / 10000 relationships, the combined hot path improves from ~1.7s to ~8.4ms (200x+ speedup). All results are identical — validated by benchmark assertions at three scales.
