GitHub user stephsi created a discussion: Task Queue time for Tasks executed 
using KubernetesExecutor

Hello everyone!

I have not found much information regarding my question, thus reaching out here:
We are running Airflow 2.9.2 on Openshift using the KubernetesExecutor.  Many 
of our tasks are quite short around 5-15 seconds, but the queue time still is 
around 25-30 seconds for every task execution, even after tweaking various 
settings.  The airflow pods have limits: of 500m CPU and 512MB of memory and of 
course the airflow image is cached on the nodes and we use the ifnotpresent 
pull policy. 

**Thus my question: is 25-30 seconds normal for the queueing time of airflow 
tasks executed by the KubernetesExecutor?**
Due to the lack of good answers, I questioned chatgpt as well and got a wide 
estimate of 10-50 seconds.

I know that the queing time can depend on many aspects, but with this poll I 
want to get a feeling if lower queueing time for this kind of setup are even 
possible.
Maybe the results also help others when trying to optimize their airflow 
deployment.
Thanks
