⚡️ Speed up function fibonacci by 16%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 16% (0.16x) speedup for fibonacci in code_to_optimize_js/fibonacci.js

⏱️ Runtime : 84.2 microseconds → 72.9 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 15% speedup by replacing the recursive fast-doubling implementation with an iterative bit-scanning approach that eliminates two key sources of overhead:

What changed:

1. Eliminated recursion overhead: The original code recursively computes fastDoubling(k/2), building up a call stack of depth O(log n). The optimized version uses a loop to process bits iteratively, avoiding all function call overhead.

2. Removed array allocations: The original returns [F(k), F(k+1)] arrays at each recursion level, creating O(log n) temporary arrays that require allocation and garbage collection. The optimized version maintains just two scalar variables (a and b) throughout execution.

3. Direct bit manipulation: Instead of dividing and recursing, the optimized code finds the most significant bit position once, then processes each bit from MSB to LSB using bitwise operations (k & (1 << i)), which is more efficient than repeated division operations.

Why this is faster:

• Memory pressure reduction: Fewer allocations mean less garbage collection activity and better cache locality
• Call stack elimination: No recursion means no stack frame setup/teardown overhead
• Simpler control flow: A single loop is more predictable for JavaScript engines to optimize than recursive calls

Impact on workloads:
The optimization particularly benefits:

• Large integer inputs (n=100, 200, 1000000000): The test suite shows consistent sub-100ms performance even for n=10^9, demonstrating the O(log n) complexity is preserved while reducing constant factors
• Repeated calls: Tests show multiple consecutive large computations (n=20-60) all complete in <50ms, indicating no performance degradation across calls
• Correctness preserved: All edge cases (n≤1, non-integers, negatives) maintain identical behavior since only the integer fast-doubling path was modified

The non-integer memoization path remains unchanged, so mixed workloads with both integer and non-integer inputs see benefits only on the integer cases.
