Hi all,

Does anyone else notice that /usr/share/koha/api/v1/app.pl is slow to startup, especially when starting up many instances (for example when installing/upgrading koha-common)?

I already have a bug open to improve the koha-upgrade-schema performance  (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26596) for package install/upgrade. However with /usr/share/koha/api/v1/app.pl (and thus "/usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/REST/V1.pm") it seems trickier.

Using --preload-app with Starman might be helpful as it might reduce the load (by preloading the app into the master process before forking). However, I think a lot of the work is done by the API startup when it’s merging and validating the API schema. I’m not sure there’s really any way around that. Maybe there are efficiencies to be gained but would need to do some profiling.

Anyway, I suppose I’m just mostly interested to see if other people are also finding it painfully slow, especially for larger scale installations.
