Description Dominic Cleal 2014-07-24 07:10:59 UTC
Description of problem:
When running "hammer --help", it's taking in excess of 1.3 seconds.  This makes it inefficient for use in a shell script, particularly when needing to retrieve IDs or run checks in other commands.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rubygem-hammer_cli-0.1.1-5.el6sat
rubygem-hammer_cli_foreman-0.1.1-9.el6sat

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. time hammer --help
2.
3.

Actual results:
>= 1.3 seconds

Expected results:
< 0.5 seconds?

Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/6761 from this bug

Moving to POST since upstream bug http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/6761 has been closed

Most time consuming turned out to be command and option definition that takes place at class level. Lazy loading of subcommands strips most of the unnecessary requires.

My measurements showed times slightly <0.5s for hammer -h (or around 0.8 when running in bundler).

6 is greater than 0.5 seconds... in fact, it's worse than the 1.3 seconds I noted in comment #0.  Why is that verified?

Comment 7 Dominic Cleal 2014-10-17 12:45:05 UTC
I'd like a second verification please for the reason in comment #6.  It might be best to establish a baseline of your installation on 6.0.4 too.

Comment 10 Tomas Strachota 2015-11-30 13:56:20 UTC
I did some testing for Sat 6.1.4 on RHEL 7.1 and it seems to be a bit better:

time hammer --help > /dev/null
real	0m1.584s
user	0m1.453s
sys	0m0.130s

time hammer --version > /dev/null
real	0m1.532s
user	0m1.408s
sys	0m0.123s

Some deeper benchmarking discovered following pain points:
- Loading translations and searching for them in multiple FastGettext domains is quite time consuming.
- Requiring 'hammer_cli' library itself takes about 0.5s. One of the reasons seems to be that loading the 'restclient' dependency takes about 0.3s


I did some measurements with multi-domain translation switched off: 

time hammer --help > /dev/null
real	0m1.109s
user	0m1.017s
sys	0m0.092s

time hammer --version > /dev/null
real	0m1.080s
user	0m0.994s
sys	0m0.085s

Comment 11 Tomas Strachota 2016-03-08 11:34:40 UTC
I added a dependent bug for the multidomain translations performance problem as it's one of the steps towards better performance:

With pre-Beta builds of 6.2 I'm seeing between 0.5 and 1.5 seconds:

Comment 18 Peter Vreman 2016-06-16 16:21:15 UTC
As initiator of the original request to create this BZ. For me the results are acceptable now for adhoc commandline usage.

The initial latency as can be seen with --version and --help is not perfect, but good enough. Also the rest of the commands that really request and present content are feeling as quick responses.

For real performance in automation the API can be used. It is much faster as shown below with the content view listing. Using the API also prevents overhead of date structure handling to generate output by hammer and then parse the output in the automation script again.

This apepears to be improved for 6.3. I am moving this to POST and removing the FailedQA flag.
