From b4e1b7948e8f797d555593ad3c378bf68e1f5efe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: d0cd <23022326+d0cd@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:35:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf(api): drop unnecessary copy.deepcopy on pre-annotation querysets Seven list endpoints snapshotted the filtered queryset via copy.deepcopy(issue_queryset) before calling apply_annotations(...). Django QuerySets are immutable through chaining (.annotate/.filter/.only all return new querysets), so the deepcopy walked an unnecessary object graph on every list request. A plain alias gives identical semantics. Microbenchmark on a queryset structurally equivalent to IssueViewSet.list's pre-annotation chain (multiple .filter, joined Q objects, .exclude, .order_by) shows 16.55us per call dropping to ~0.02us (20x5000 samples). Per-request saving is small in absolute terms, but universal across all 7 callsites and trivially safe. Affected viewsets: IssueViewSet (x2), IssueArchiveViewSet, CycleIssueViewSet, ModuleIssueViewSet, WorkspaceViewIssuesViewSet, and WorkspaceUserProfileIssuesEndpoint.
