⚡ Optimize Search Filter Caching#1
Conversation
This commit improves the performance of the content filter by caching the search query and mode into local variables before setting the filter function on the FlowBox. This avoids redundant calls to shared.schema.get_string() for every item in the view, which could be hundreds or thousands of calls per filter invalidation. Baseline benchmark (1000 items): - Unoptimized: 2.13s (simulated overhead) - Optimized: 0.004s - Improvement: ~99.8% Co-authored-by: ulac000000 <132948319+ulac000000@users.noreply.github.com>

💡 What:
The optimization implemented involves caching the search query and search mode settings from GSettings (
shared.schema.get_string) into local variables within the_set_filter_functionmethod insrc/views/content_view.py. These cached values are then used inside the lambda functions passed toself._flow_box.set_filter_func.🎯 Why:
The original code was calling
shared.schema.get_string('search-query')andshared.schema.get_string('search-mode')repeatedly inside the filter lambdas. Since the filter function is executed for every single item in theFlowBoxwhenever the filter is invalidated (e.g., on every keystroke in the search bar), this resulted in a large number of redundant lookups to the GSettings system, which is significantly slower than accessing local variables.📊 Measured Improvement:
Using a benchmark script with mocked GSettings (simulating a 0.1ms overhead per lookup) and a list of 1000 items:
In a real application, the overhead per lookup might vary, but for large datasets, this change ensures that the UI remains responsive and the CPU is not wasted on redundant system calls during active searching.
