Bug 1384199

Description of problem:

On large databases, host collection widget takes too long to render. 

We created a test ruby script to simulate and trace the same steps performed by the host collection widget and look at the results:


[root@inhas62145 ~]# cat /tmp/host_collection_widget.rb 
start_time = Time.now
puts "Start time #{start_time}"

User.current = User.anonymous_api_admin

query_start = Time.now
organizations = Organization.current.present? ? [Organization.current] : User.current.allowed_organizations
query_end = Time.now

puts "Organizations query #{query_end - query_start}"
puts "-------------"

query_start = Time.now
critical, warning, ok = Katello::HostCollection.lists_by_updates_needed(organizations)
query_end = Time.now
puts "host_collection list  query #{query_end - query_start}"
puts "-------------"

query_start = Time.now
host_collections = (critical + warning + ok)[0..6]
query_end = Time.now
puts "host_coolections top 0...6 query #{query_end - query_start}"
puts "-------------"

end_time = Time.now
elapsed_time = end_time - start_time
puts "End time #{end_time}"
puts "Elapsed time #{elapsed_time}"
puts "-------------"
