The optimization eliminates the repeated import overhead by caching the imported class as a class attribute after first use. In the original code, every call to `_get_field_hooks` performed a fresh import of `StrawchemyField` from `strawchemy.strawberry._field`, which accounted for 55% of the function's execution time according to the profiler. **Key changes:** - **Import caching**: Uses a try/except pattern to check for `cls._StrawchemyField` attribute first, only importing on the initial call when `AttributeError` is raised - **Class-level storage**: Stores the imported `StrawchemyField` class on the repository class itself for reuse across all instances and calls **Why this is faster:** Python's import system involves module lookup, attribute resolution, and potential disk I/O on first import. Even for already-loaded modules, the `from X import Y` statement still requires namespace resolution. By caching the class reference, subsequent calls skip this entirely and just perform a simple attribute access. **Performance impact:** The line profiler shows the import went from 656,967ns (55% of runtime) to just 1,443ns on first call, with subsequent calls avoiding the import completely. This results in an 82% speedup overall. The test results show consistent 100-190% improvements across all test cases, indicating the optimization benefits any workload that calls this method multiple times. **Workload compatibility:** Since this appears to be a field processing utility in a GraphQL repository, it's likely called frequently during query resolution. The caching pattern is thread-safe for the common case (reading an already-set attribute) and maintains identical behavior including the lazy import pattern required by the `# noqa: PLC0415` comment.
