= time based comparison of python-launchpad-bugs and launchpadlib =

This is still work in progress. python's timeit is used.

== Preparation ==

=== launchpadlib ===

There are two files with credentials for ''STAGING'' and ''EDGE'', for each mode the connector is created by
{{{
>>> credentials = Credentials()
>>> credentials.load(open(<file>))
>>> launchpad = Launchpad(credentials, <SERVER-const>)
}}}

=== python-launchpad-bugs (text) ===

(read-only access)

{{{
>>> Bug = ConnectBug("text")
>>> Bug.set_connection_mode(<SERVER-const>)
}}}

=== python-launchpad-bugs (html) ===

(this connection mode is used for write-access)

{{{
>>> Bug = ConnectBug("html")
>>> Bug.authentication = <cookie-file>
>>> Bug.set_connection_mode(<SERVER-const>)
}}}

==== Conclusion ====
 * for read-only access python-launchpad-bugs in the ''text'' mode is about three times faster than launchpadlib
 * write-access with launchpadlib is two times faster than python-launchpad-bugs in the ''html'' mode

==== Preparations ====

The timings for launchpadlib are now part of the launchpad profile for ipython. To run this timings get the code from `lp:~thekorn/+junk/ipython.launchpad.profile`, copy the profile to `~/.ipython` and run:

{{{
% LPTIMING=1 ipython -p launchpad  #for staging, or
% LPMODE=edge LPTIMING=1 ipython -p launchpad  #for edge
}}}

==== Conclusion ====
 * edge is looking good, speed seems to be improved since I checked it the last time few month ago
