libosinfo takes quite a while to preload its data, it was evident in virt-manager that the UI became much slower. This series is mostly targeted at starting a discussion about this issue. I thought about caching the data in another format, that could be used instead of XML without preloading the entire DB at the startup, but it seems like a big task considering the various relations between objects at runtime. I am not sure if patch 5/5 is correct (does the lang function in the xpath query use gettext?). With the following patches, the startup time is around -30% on my machine. What do you think about these changes? Any other ideas? Giuseppe Scrivano (5): entity: use g_hash_table_replace instead of remove+insert osinfo_loader: avoid multiple calls to OSINFO_ENTITY osinfo_loader: introduce a compiled xpaths cache osinfo_loader: replace some xpath queries with direct data access osinfo_loader: do not use xpath to read localized strings osinfo/osinfo_entity.c | 5 +- osinfo/osinfo_loader.c | 287 +++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------- 2 files changed, 139 insertions(+), 153 deletions(-) -- 1.9.3 _______________________________________________ Libosinfo mailing list Libosinfo@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libosinfo
