From d1f10b28fa19e89d2fdddbe59163a3912739b3e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yaniv Michael Kaul Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 22:08:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] (improvement) Optimize Cython byte unpacking with ntohs/ntohl and int.from_bytes Performance improvements to serialization/deserialization hot paths: 1. unpack_num(): Use ntohs()/ntohl() for 16-bit and 32-bit integer types instead of byte-by-byte swapping loop. These compile to single bswap instructions on x86, providing more predictable performance. 2. read_int(): Simplify to use ntohl() directly instead of going through unpack_num() with a temporary Buffer. 3. varint_unpack(): Replace hex string conversion with int.from_bytes(). This eliminates string allocations and provides 4-18x speedup for the function itself (larger gains for longer varints). 4. Remove slice_buffer() and replaced with direct assignment 5. _unpack_len() is now implemented similar to read_int() Also removes unused 'start' and 'end' variables from unpack_num(). End-to-end benchmark shows ~4-5% improvement in row throughput.

DesCompositeType: Add bounds validation for composite element lengths - Refactor 4 locations to use from_ptr_and_size() instead of manual Buffer field assignment - Add float branch to unpack_num(): reinterpret bits as uint32, ntohl(), reinterpret back (consistent with int16/int32 intrinsic paths) -
