Protobuf serialization in Ruby very expensive #12
Description
Hey Kyle,
@justinsteffy and I have been hitting performance snags doing 50-100 serializations during the request response cycle. We've identified that most of the time is spent in the beefcake library doing protobuf serialization. Have you had any issues with this?
r = Riemann::Client.new
# => #<Riemann::Client:0x00000001fc3040 @host="127.0.0.1", @port=5555, @timeout=5, @udp=#<Riemann::Client::UDP:0x00000001fc2fc8 @host="127.0.0.1", @port=5555, @max_size=16384, @locket=#<Mutex:0x00000001fcafc0>>, @tcp=#<Riemann::Client::TCP:0x00000001fcaf98 @host="127.0.0.1", @port=5555, @timeout=5, @locket=#<Mutex:0x00000001fcaf70>>>
r << { service: 'testing', metric: 1.0, tags: ['test', 'the', 'client'] }
# => nil
require 'benchmark'
# => true
Benchmark.measure do
1000.times do
r << { service: 'testing', metric: 1.0, tags: ['test', 'the', 'client'] }
end
end
