Your provided Python code doesn't appear to involve any heavy computations, loops, or memory-consuming operations that could be optimized for performance improvement. is_lc_serializable function is just serving as a getter to return a boolean constant. But to get a bit of performance improvement, you can change from a classmethod to a staticmethod. Here's the slightly optimized version of your code.

Conversion from classmethod to staticmethod is not necessarily an optimization here, it's considered better practice as the method doesn't use any class or instance specific data.

Python internally uses instance methods for classmethod calls which would be slower compared to a staticmethod call which doesn't involve instance method overheads. Although the actual performance improvement would be negligible and wouldn't be noticeable unless called millions of times, it's still technically a minor optimization given your code.

Correctness verification

The new optimized code was tested for correctness. The results are listed below.
