Hi Mike, I have noticed that too. The CPU shows 25% even when the server is idle. It is not as bad as it was at the time they introduced the log server APIs but it is worse than what used to be.
As another data point, I sporadically keep track of the time it takes to run a suite of end-to-end tests for my app and the time has increased 75% since 1.7.0. I have definitely not added so many new test cases, hardware is the same etc.: Date: Wed Aug 7 15:40:54 2013 -0700 Linux ro2 2.6.32-33-server Python 2.7.5 GAE release: "1.8.2" real 26m49.428s user 12m47.280s sys 3m29.460s Date: Thu May 9 13:37:31 2013 -0700 real 23m34.431s user 10m12.420s sys 2m18.190s Linux ro2 2.6.32-33-server Python 2.7.3 GAE release: "1.8.0" Date: Wed Jul 25 21:29:57 2012 -0700 Python 2.7.2 GAE release: "1.7.0" real 16m8.724s user 8m21.050s sys 1m45.360s PK http://www.gae123.com On August 16, 2013 at 8:08:47 AM, Mike Knapp (m...@shoesofprey.com) wrote: Has anyone else noticed the SDK consuming a lot of system resources recently? My computer is grinding to a halt, with the local dev server taking 60% of the CPU even when it's just sitting idle. It's painful to use. This seems to be a recent issue after upgrading.
