Opening the UMC module "App Center" feels very slow.
If you just have a common internet connection like 16 MBit/s it needs ages.
Comment 1 Dirk Wiesenthal univentionstaff 2018-06-20 13:56:53 CEST
Fixed in
  univention-appcenter 7.0.2-3A~4.3.0.201806201340

4393e5c1: Implemented get_all_apps() - which is key to the UMC overview of all Apps - by avoiding another round of find() for each App. find() iterates again over every single app version. get_all_apps() now has its own implementation of find() which is a bit code duplication but should not be too bad.

18ebbaac: Delay imports and initializations. For the installation of an App, this will not help in summary, but some actions do not require to go over all parts of the code. Especially this will now improve:
  ucr commit /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf /usr/share/univention-management-console/i18n/de/apps.mo /usr/share/univention-portal/apps.json

b12662e1: New initialization of App objects. This will improve loading and re-building of the cache. We keep backwards compatibility, although the old **kwargs is not used anymore in the App Center.

d95ed244: Setup the cache in the UMC module. This helps because during UMC login, one UMC request is sent to the App Center module. If the module is opened afterwards, the cache is already loaded. Otherwise we would suffer from the "delay improvements" from 18ebbaac.

We had some more tricks, but the ones used here should be clear and not harmful.

You can test the impact of the patch with:
  /usr/share/ucs-test/20_appcenter/60_check_appcenter_performance | grep "answered

which reduces univention-app list from 5s to 2s
Comment 5 Felix Botner univentionstaff 2018-06-21 16:31:29 CEST
great work:

univention-app update 23s -> 13s
(empty chache)

univention-app info 2s -> 0.7s

univention-app remove wordpress 24s -> 11s

univention-app install wordpress 43s -> 27s
(docker image already pulled, database packages already installed)
