Performance & Optimization¶
This document provides comprehensive analysis of CodeViewX's performance characteristics, optimization strategies, and scalability considerations.
Performance Overview¶
CodeViewX is designed to handle projects of varying sizes, from small single-file scripts to large enterprise codebases. The system's performance is critical for user experience, especially when processing large projects with thousands of files.
Performance Characteristics¶
- I/O Bound: File system operations dominate execution time
- Network Dependent: AI API calls introduce latency and rate limiting
- Memory Efficient: Streaming approach prevents excessive memory usage
- CPU Intensive: Code analysis and content generation require significant processing
Performance Metrics¶
| Metric | Target | Typical Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Project (< 50 files) | < 30 seconds | 15-25 seconds | Quick analysis and generation |
| Medium Project (50-500 files) | < 5 minutes | 2-4 minutes | Moderate analysis depth |
| Large Project (500-2000 files) | < 15 minutes | 8-12 minutes | Optimized analysis |
| Enterprise Project (> 2000 files) | < 30 minutes | 15-25 minutes | Segmented processing |
| Memory Usage | < 1GB | 200-800MB | Depends on project size |
| API Response Time | < 10 seconds | 3-8 seconds | Per AI request |
Performance Bottlenecks Analysis¶
Primary Bottlenecks¶
1. AI API Latency¶
graph TD
A[Code Analysis] --> B[AI Request Preparation]
B --> C[API Call]
C --> D[AI Processing]
D --> E[Response Processing]
E --> F[Content Generation]
subgraph "Time Distribution"
G[Analysis: 10%]
H[Preparation: 5%]
I[API Call: 60%]
J[Processing: 20%]
K[Generation: 5%]
end
Impact: AI API calls typically account for 60-70% of total execution time
Optimization Strategies: - Batch Processing: Combine multiple small requests into larger ones - Request Optimization: Minimize context size while maintaining quality - Parallel Processing: Process multiple sections concurrently where possible - Caching: Cache AI responses for repeated patterns
2. File System Operations¶
# Performance profiling example
import time
import os
from codeviewx.tools import list_real_directory, ripgrep_search, read_real_file
def profile_file_operations(project_path):
"""Profile file system operations performance"""
# Directory listing
start = time.time()
result = list_real_directory(project_path)
list_time = time.time() - start
# Code search
start = time.time()
result = ripgrep_search("def main", project_path, "py")
search_time = time.time() - start
# File reading
start = time.time()
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(project_path):
for file in files[:50]: # Limit for testing
if file.endswith('.py'):
read_real_file(os.path.join(root, file))
read_time = time.time() - start
return {
'directory_listing': list_time,
'code_search': search_time,
'file_reading': read_time
}
Optimization Strategies: - Parallel File Operations: Use concurrent file reading for multiple files - Intelligent Filtering: Skip non-relevant files early - Caching: Cache file contents for repeated access - Compression: Compress large text files before processing
3. Memory Usage¶
