python - werkzeug(或celery)中关于Proxy的这段注释是什么意思？

celery的源码local.py中有这么一个类Proxy，作者说是Code stolen from werkzeug.local.Proxy.，我核对了一下，代码确实是一样的，其中有这么一个方法：

def _get_current_object(self):        
    """Return the current object.  This is useful if you want the real       
    object behind the proxy at a time for performance reasons or because     
    you want to pass the object into a different context."""                         
    loc = object.__getattribute__(self, '_Proxy__local')                             
    if not hasattr(loc, '__release_local__'):                                        
        return loc(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)                                    
    try:  # pragma: no cover                                                         
        # not sure what this is about                                                
        return getattr(loc, self.__name__)                                           
    except AttributeError:  # pragma: no cover                                       
        raise RuntimeError('no object bound to {0.__name__}'.format(self))

注释说这个方法有助于性能提升，还可以在不同的context中的传递对象。

我想问一下，这个函数或者说用Proxy提升性能的原理是什么?

望不吝赐教，谢谢！
