From e91b19148e5662d18a20ad5671f1560815dcb291 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Proulx Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 19:18:25 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Avoid empty-hash merges on request hot paths MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three `|| {}` patterns on the per-request path allocated an empty Hash and handed it to a merge that produced a shallow copy of the left-hand side — pure waste. Guard the merge when the right-hand side is absent or empty instead. When a route has no path placeholders (or none captured), `route.params` returns an empty Hash (or nil). The old code did `args.merge(route_params || {})`, allocating `{}` and then a new hash identical to `args` on every matched static route. `grape_routing_args` falls back to `{}` when env has no routing args. `deep_merge!` on `{}` is a walking no-op. Skip the call entirely when routing_args is empty. `(body || {}).merge(key => representation)` — when no body is set (the common case), this allocated `{}` only to merge one key into it. Build the one-key hash directly. process_route, no route_params (static path, common case): old: 4.48 M i/s, 480 objects allocated / 1k calls new: 8.31 M i/s, 160 objects allocated / 1k calls (1.85x faster, 3x fewer) process_route, empty {} route_params: old: 5.16 M i/s, 320 objects / 1k calls new: 8.02 M i/s, 160 objects / 1k calls (1.55x faster, 2x fewer) process_route, real route_params: within noise (unchanged path). No behavior change; all 2,236 specs pass.

Previously every phase emitted an event on every request regardless of whether any filters were registered.
