This optimization achieves a **26% runtime improvement** (2.67ms → 2.10ms) by eliminating unnecessary character-by-character scanning in the brace-counting logic, which was the primary performance bottleneck.
**Key Optimizations:**
1. **Fast-path brace detection**: Added an upfront check (`if "{" not in body_line and "}" not in body_line`) before character scanning. Lines without braces (the majority) now skip the expensive character iteration entirely, reducing hot-path time from ~37% to ~11% of total execution.
2. **Precomputed constants**: Caching `len(lines)` as `n_lines` and the indentation prefix `body_prefix = " " * 8` eliminates redundant computations in tight loops.
3. **Short-circuit optimization**: Added early exit (`if brace_depth == 0: break`) within the character loop to stop processing once the method's closing brace is found mid-line.
4. **Batch operations**: Replaced individual `append` calls with `result.extend(method_lines)` for method signature lines, reducing function call overhead.
**Performance Impact:**
The line profiler shows the character-scanning loop time dropped from **4.68M + 4.52M + 4.78M = ~14M ns** (37% of total) to **~1.4M ns** (11% of total) - a **10x reduction** in the hottest code path. This benefit scales with input size, as evidenced by test results:
- Small files (single test): 7-11% faster
- Medium files (multiple tests): 6-9% faster
- Large files (200+ test methods, 500+ statements): **15-33% faster** (some cases showing 312% speedup for very large method bodies)
The optimization is particularly effective for typical Java test files where most lines contain code statements rather than braces, making the fast-path check highly beneficial. The character-by-character scan now only runs on the small subset of lines that actually contain braces, while preserving exact output behavior including proper handling of nested blocks and mid-line brace detection.
