This is on top of the previous 10% speedup for
to_dicts
, but only ifpyarrow
is available. Speedup varies with dict composition but is always significant (I'm seeing 25-45% gains with a freshly-compiled release build).Also:
to_dicts
internally to useiter_rows(named=True)
.Struct
coverage to theiter_rows
unit test.The degree of speedup makes me think I should look at generating the iter-values down in Rust with
pyo3
after all; python loops are notoriously slow compared to lower-level languages, and it seems there is some low-hanging fruit here...
