3DNS 4.6.3 SOAP is slow while being queried
3DNS 4.6.3 build 82
Our 3DNS that uses SOAP is extremley slow the time it takes to run
against the perl script they have that queries 3DNS.
It takes up 15 min to p...
Currently, there is no way to add HTTP Keep-alive support to the SOAP::Lite client libraries so the overhead of the SSL negotiation on each method call is unavoidable.
So, that leaves us with the total time being a function of the number of calls times the time each call takes
total_time = num_call * time_per_call
The time per call is fairly constant in the 500ms (+/- 200ms) range for the SOAP::Lite libraries so this should scale linearly with the number of calls made.
10 calls => 5s.
100 calls => 50s.
1000 calls => 8m 20s.
2000 calls => 16m 40s.
If you could post a logic flow of the application and which calls are made where, I can comment on whether there is a more optimal way to use the calls or whether alternate ways to get at the data would be more relevant.
