2016-05-12 16:47:54 Robie Basak description When running against http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/streams/v1/com.ubuntu.cloud:released:download.sjson, read_signed() in simplestreams/utils.py seems to take minutes (402 seconds in my instrumented timing) running 100% CPU. At the time of my test, download.sjson is 451737 bytes in 1870 lines. This makes a uvtool sync virtually unusable on Xenial. The culprit is the constant += of a string as it is read in. This is inefficient in Python as each += results in a new string that has to be allocated. Keeping the lines in a list and joining them at the end reduces the time to 0.127 seconds. Merge proposal to follow. I'm filing this bug to track a Xenial SRU. [Impact] When running against http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/streams/v1/com.ubuntu.cloud:released:download.sjson, read_signed() in simplestreams/utils.py seems to take minutes (402 seconds in my instrumented timing) running 100% CPU. At the time of my test, download.sjson is 451737 bytes in 1870 lines. This makes a uvtool sync virtually unusable on Xenial. [Development Fix] The culprit is the constant += of a string as it is read in. This is inefficient in Python as each += results in a new string that has to be allocated. Keeping the lines in a list and joining them at the end reduces the time to 0.127 seconds. [Stable Fix] No change cherry-pick of fix committed upstream. [Test Case] On a machine with reasonable connectivity, run: uvt-simplestreams-libvirt sync release=xenial arch=amd64 Expected result: takes a few seconds with minimal CPU use. Actual result: takes more than five minutes with CPU pegged at 100%. Scott also has a more direct test case here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16377613/ [Original Notes] Merge proposal to follow. I'm filing this bug to track a Xenial SRU.
