Hi Dima, Have you had a chance to play with the proposed solutions? If not then let us know and somebody will eventually get to it. Meanwhile, would you mind submitting a tar on jira? Thanks, Sean

You are right. The slowdown doesn’t have anything to do with documentID. I am now convinced that the slowdown has to do with the Polarity annotator. The reason you and others haven’t seen this in other pipelines is that you’ve probably been processing relatively small files. I am processing MIMIC patient files, which typically have thousands of words. I just tried to process 300 files from the THYME corpus (where the files have hundreds of words) and the slowdown was barely noticeable. When running the same pipeline on the MIMIC files, the slowdown becomes very noticeable.
