I ran a benchmark comparing three loading strategies: 1. Pre-import before parsing loop Call `_pre_import_airflow_modules()` once before entering the while loop in _run_parsing_loop(). 2. Pre-import before fork Call it right before fork process 3. No pre-import **Setup** * 1,000 parse iterations per experiment * Loaded almost all core Airflow modules plus numpy, pandas, celery, and k8s (no providers, api, www, cli) * Averaged 1,000 parse (first run excluded) * Measured ```python process_creation_time = time.monotonic() - process_start_time ``` immediately after `self._start_new_processes()` **Results** “Before parsing loop” vs “before fork” * Moving the pre-import outside the parsing loop reduced `process_creation_time` by **92.8%** compared to doing it before per-fork. Baseline vs “before parsing loop” * Without pre-import at all was about 29% faster than pre-importing before the loop, but the actual time saved was tiny—probably just normal fork timing noise.  **Conclusion** If my experimental setup is correct, and pre-importing before the parse loop doesn’t introduce any unintended side effects, it might offer an opportunity to improve efficiency. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
