⚡️ Speed up function fibonacci by 130%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 130% (1.30x) speedup for fibonacci in code_to_optimize_js_esm/fibonacci.js

⏱️ Runtime : 600 microseconds → 261 microseconds (best of 5 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

Runtime improvement (primary benefit): The optimized version reduces the measured runtime from ~600μs to ~261μs (~129% speedup). That lower execution time is the main reason this change was accepted.

What changed (specific optimizations)

• Fast iterative path for integer inputs: If Number.isInteger(n) is true the function computes Fibonacci with a simple loop (a, b = 0, 1; iterate to n). This is O(n) with constant-time arithmetic and no function-call overhead.
• Module-level memoization cache (Map): _fibCache stores computed Fibonacci values (seeded with 0 and 1). The function checks the cache first and returns cached results immediately for repeated calls.
• Memoized recursion only for non-integers: For inputs that are not integer-valued the code falls back to a memoized recursive helper that uses the same Map to avoid repeated work.

Why this speeds things up (performance reasoning)

• Eliminates exponential recursion for integer inputs: The original implementation used naive recursion fibonacci(n-1)+fibonacci(n-2), which does O(phi^n) calls. The iterative loop replaces that with O(n) work and avoids the heavy function-call overhead and duplicated subcomputations entirely.
• Cuts function-call overhead and stack pressure: Recursion causes many JS function calls and stack frames; the iterative loop has none of that overhead. This matters especially for n >= 20 and repeated calls.
• Cache turns repeated calls into O(1) lookups: The Map.get() short-circuits computation for previously-computed n, so repeated requests (common in hot paths or unit tests) are much faster.
• Memoization reduces recomputation for non-integers too: The fallback recursive helper uses the same cache to prevent repeated subcalls, so even non-integer paths avoid repeated work.

Behavioral / dependency notes (impact on workloads)

• Better for hot paths and repeated calls: Workloads that call fibonacci repeatedly or iterate over ranges (tests that loop from n=0..20, repeated calls) see the largest gains — annotated tests show dramatic speedups in loops and repeated calls.
• Much safer for larger n: The iterative path removes risk of deep recursion and stack overflow for larger integer inputs and gives predictable linear running time.
• Memory/time trade-off: The global Map retains computed values across calls. This slightly increases memory usage but is a good trade-off because it yields significantly lower runtime for repeated or larger inputs.
• Minor regressions for tiny inputs: A few very small cases (e.g., certain single small n or coercion cases) may be slightly slower due to Map lookup and type-check overhead; these are small relative to the overall runtime benefit and are an acceptable trade-off for faster general performance (annotated tests show some tiny slowdowns, e.g., fibonacci(4) and numeric-string cases).
• Preserved behavior for edge cases: The code preserves the original behavior for n <= 1 and handles integer-like floats via Number.isInteger(5.0) => true so they take the fast path. Non-integers still follow the recursive logic but benefit from memoization.

Which tests benefit most

• Tests that call the function repeatedly or in loops (strictly increasing checks, repeated calls, performance tests up to n=30) show the largest wins because they avoid exponential recomputation.
• Large-ish inputs (n >= ~20) and benchmark/performance tests will see dramatic improvement thanks to O(n) iterative behavior and caching.

Summary
The optimized code replaces exponential recursive computation with a linear iterative algorithm for integer inputs and adds a module-level memoization cache. These two changes remove duplicated computation and heavy function-call overhead, yielding the observed ~129% runtime improvement. The few small slowdowns on trivial inputs are a reasonable trade-off for much faster and more predictable performance in real workloads and hot paths.
