📄 158% (1.58x) speedup for get_windows_executable_command in src/mcp/client/stdio/win32.py

⏱️ Runtime : 182 milliseconds 70.5 milliseconds (best of 106 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

Certainly! Let’s analyze the profiling results and rewrite the function for speed.

Profiling Analysis

  • The shutil.which calls dominate runtime—especially the ones inside the extension loop (almost 79% of the time).
  • Creating formatted strings for each extension and calling shutil.which serially is inefficient.

Optimization Approach

  • Cut redundant lookups: Use the shutil.which “PATHEXT” search feature, which already tries .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD (and others based on system configuration). On Windows, shutil.which('foo') automatically checks extensions given by the PATHEXT environment variable.
  • Only need to call shutil.which(command)—no need for a manual extension loop in most cases.
  • As an extra safety, can manually try Case 2 (explicit extensions—e.g., .ps1 is not always in PATHEXT), but only if the first call fails.

Optimized Code

Summary of Changes

  • Removed the slow extension loop; rely on shutil.which (leverages PATHEXT).
  • Only falls back to .ps1 search if normal search fails (optional, if really needed).
  • Fewer calls, less string formatting, much less repeated work; this will run a lot faster, especially under heavy load or many queries.

Let me know if you want further Windows-specific fine-tuning!
