Description

Continuing my project to optimize the system checks, I found some easy optimizations in RelatedField._check_clashes(), which I found to take 6% of the total runtime for checks.

The function was formatting strings for error messages for each potential clash. This formatting is wasted when there is no error, which is the typical case. Moreover, the cost is exacerbated due to using the Model._meta.label property, invoking a function call.

Pushing the formatting to error cases speeds up the function significantly. I found this method was called 228 times during system checks for a project with 118 models, taking 4ms or 6% of the total total runtime. After optimizing, the cost is reduced to 1ms, or ~1.5%.
