I've been trying to track down why I'm seeing huge latencies in one of my apps. I tracked it down to a large (~100 entity) batch get call. My understanding was the batch get should be comparable to a query, which is seems confirmed here
http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/84ef15d24d3749fb/7ea0a5a22ef4b316 In my testing batch gets are about twice as long as a simple query. With Appstats turned on it's taking 8x! Query Fetch ~500ms (w/o appstats) ~500ms (w appstats) Batch Get ~1000ms (w/o appstats) ~4000ms (w appstats) Does this seem about correct? My impression leaving appstats in the production version was minimal overhead. I've included a simple version below. This is python 2.7 and HR datastore btw. from google.appengine.ext import db import webapp2 as webapp import time class UserAccount(db.Model): name = db.StringProperty(indexed=False) class MakeDataHandler(webapp.RequestHandler): def get(self): db.put([UserAccount(key_name='TST'+str(i), name="Testing") for i in range(100)]) class TestSpeedHandler2(webapp.RequestHandler): def get(self): start_time = time.time() db.get([db.Key().from_path("UserAccount",str(f)) for f in range(100)]) self.response.write(str(int((time.time() - start_time)*1000))) class TestSpeedHandler3(webapp.RequestHandler): def get(self): start_time = time.time() db.Query(UserAccount).fetch(100) self.response.write(str(int((time.time() - start_time)*1000))) application = webapp.WSGIApplication([(r'/makedata',MakeDataHandler), (r'/ testspeed2',TestSpeedHandler2), (r'/ testspeed3',TestSpeedHandler3)], debug=False) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
