⚡ Precompile regex in update-bottles to improve performance#1
Conversation
Extract the repeatedly compiled regex pattern in `update_bottle_section` into a module-level precompiled constant (`BOTTLE_SECTION_PATTERN`). This avoids recompiling the regex on every iteration of the loop or every time `update_bottle_section` is called. A benchmark script showed a ~31% performance improvement.

Pull request overview
Optimizes scripts/update-bottles.py by precompiling the static “bottle section” regex so repeated calls avoid re-compilation overhead, and adds a standalone benchmark script used to measure the improvement.
Changes:
- Precompile the bottle-section regex as a module-level
BOTTLE_SECTION_PATTERNand reuse it via.finditer(...). - Replace the inline
re.finditer(...)call inupdate_bottle_sectionwith the precompiled pattern. - Add a
benchmark.pyscript to measure the optimization impact.

import re at module top is unused in this benchmark script (the regex module is only imported inside the timeit setup strings). Please remove the unused import to avoid lint failures and reduce confusion about what the benchmark depends on.

This PR adds benchmark.py at the repository root, but it isn't referenced by docs, CI, or the scripts/ tooling. Consider moving it under a dedicated location (e.g., scripts/bench/ or tools/) or excluding it from the PR to avoid leaving an orphan utility at the top level.
💡 What: The optimization implemented
Extracted the regex
r'\[bottle\.[^\]]+\][ \t]*\nurl[ \t]*=[ \t]*"[^"]*"[ \t]*\nsha256[ \t]*=[ \t]*"[^"]*"[ \t]*\n'to a module-level constant namedBOTTLE_SECTION_PATTERNcompiled withre.compile(). We then useBOTTLE_SECTION_PATTERN.finditer(content)instead ofre.finditer(..., content).🎯 Why: The performance problem it solves
In
scripts/update-bottles.py, theupdate_bottle_sectionfunction had a static regex inside a call tore.finditer(...). This regex was being repeatedly compiled every time the function was called. Pre-compiling it avoids that overhead.📊 Measured Improvement:
I created a
benchmark.pyusingtimeitto run the loop logic 100,000 times over a dummy formula string.Results:
