From e7e0c52db9093a9ecd9dcaa0766e66515a546a75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dylan Baker Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2018 09:08:48 -0700 Subject: db/manager: Drop async method As far as I can tell using a separate process doesn't actually improve performance, it makes it worse. The work that we're passing off to the separate function isn't necessarily work that's well suited to being handed off, there isn't a lot of computation and the objects that need to be passed across the pipe are fairly large (at least when considering a pipe). Converting the function to a generator gives better performance and simplifies the implementation. --- alot/db/manager.py | 130 ++--------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 126 deletions(-) (limited to 'alot/db/manager.py') diff --git a/alot/db/manager.py b/alot/db/manager.py index 956ddcbc..af42a1f5 100644 --- a/alot/db/manager.py +++ b/alot/db/manager.py @@ -1,14 +1,10 @@ # Copyright (C) 2011-2012 Patrick Totzke +# Copyright © Dylan Baker # This file is released under the GNU GPL, version 3 or a later revision. # For further details see the COPYING file from collections import deque -import errno +import asyncio import logging -import multiprocessing -import os -import signal -import sys -import threading from notmuch import Database, NotmuchError, XapianError import notmuch @@ -23,47 +19,6 @@ from .utils import is_subdir_of from ..settings.const import settings -class FillPipeProcess(multiprocessing.Process): -
