Hi DS, The best practices while dealing with batch job services are as listed in this <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/batch-jobs#best_practices> document. Having fewer larger jobs should improve the performance compared to many smaller jobs. Hence increasing the size of the jobs should be helpful. From your description, it appears that your batch job has only one type of operation which is to update AdGroup. If that is not the case, ordering the operations by operation type will also help boost the performance. Additionally, grouping together <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bestpractices#group_operations> operations that target the same ad group/campaign reduces the total number of ad groups or campaigns targeted in the request, improving overall performance. I see that you have set the highest possible value for compression. Please note that higher level of compression <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/blob/5eea2f7fb65fd07f0413eb2e33bc2e7563c43078/src/Google/AdsApi/Common/SoapSettingsBuilder.php#L82-#L97> can also degrade the performance.
Is 7 - 8 mins per batch job the time taken to complete the job? For larger batch jobs that does not seem to be too high. If the batch jobs are getting stuck, cancelling, taking too long to complete etc, please share the batch job id's of those requests and we can take a closer look to see if there are any issues.
