Performance Issues, long loading times

JayVii opened this issue · 12 comments

Since upgrading to 2.0.0-8, I have tremendous performance issues, when loading the page. I.e.loading my timeline usually takes around 30 seconds, sub-pages typically are relatively quick.

Here's a measure via curl in 2.0.0-7:

time_namelookup: 0.013596
time_connect: 0.045928
time_appconnect: 0.103918
time_pretransfer: 0.104011
time_redirect: 0.000000
time_starttransfer: 0.134354
———
time_total: 0.134512

Following is a measure in 2.0.0-8:

time_namelookup: 0.010660
time_connect: 0.040303
time_appconnect: 0.088064
time_pretransfer: 0.088108
time_redirect: 0.000000
time_starttransfer: 38.087822
———
time_total: 38.088007

I tried tocurl all other 2.0.0-8 servers I could find on fediverse observer, but those do not appear to have the same performance issues as far as I can tell.

Downgrading to 2.0.0-7 seems to work flawlessly and the performance issues go away immediately.

Any ideas how to debug this issue?

@JayVii i think this is related to sqlite3 version. i ran into it with a statically built binary i dropped a week ago to test some code, and it went away when i built normally. i can't check the version right at the moment, but you might try to upgrade (or at least change) your sqlite3 version if you can. i'll try to get more information when i can get access to my build system.

fwiw i'm linking to 3.31.1 right now. do you know what version you're linking to?

I built a docker image directly from dist without further changes (except for shard update so it would run through cleanly), so whatever version is used there. I'll check again when I get home.

The builder docker image seems to use 3.32.1-r1, if I am not mistaken (alpine 3.12):

docker run crystallang/crystal:1.2.2-alpine apk add sqlite-static
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.12/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.12/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
(1/1) Installing sqlite-static (3.32.1-r1)
OK: 195 MiB in 53 packages

The final image (alpine 3.16) uses 3.38.5-r0:

docker run alpine:latest apk add sqlite-static
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.16/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.16/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
(1/1) Installing sqlite-static (3.38.5-r0)
OK: 7 MiB in 15 packages

thanks!

Are there any other Logs i could provide?

the other possible problem that just occurred to me is that your instance of the database is missing an index—it would be a little surprising in this case, but it's worth ruling out. if you open your database with sqlite3 and execute .schema that should dump the database schema. post that here and i can do a quite scan to make sure the right indexes are in place.

i've now been able to duplicate this although i don't have a confirmed fix. it seems like with some versions of sqlite and on some builds, the query planner just makes terrible decisions about the best query plan to run. in production right now it takes 2-3 seconds minimum to load a page on a server that was statically built against 3.38.5. when i run the queries themselves in production in the cli version 3.31.1 they perform as expected.

@JayVii e37c8af may fix this. i'd be interested in your experience. it works, on average, better on the versions of SQLite i have access to.

@toddsundsted I just built 8dd791f with following dockerfile:

FROM crystallang/crystal:1.2.2-alpine AS builder
RUN apk update && apk upgrade && apk add sqlite-static
WORKDIR /build/
ARG version
RUN git clone --branch ${version:-dist} https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec . # change here
RUN git config user.email "you@example.com" # change here
RUN git config user.name "Your Name" # change here
RUN git merge 8dd791f6b06f753a4e32873e7ff5a14068ea767e # change here
RUN shards update # change here
RUN shards install --production
RUN crystal build src/ktistec/server.cr --static --no-debug --release

FROM alpine:latest AS server
RUN apk --no-cache add tzdata
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=builder /build/etc /app/etc
COPY --from=builder /build/public /app/public
COPY --from=builder /build/server /bin/server
RUN mkdir /db
RUN ln -s /app/public/uploads /uploads
ENV KTISTEC_DB=/db/ktistec.db
CMD ["/bin/server"]
VOLUME /db /uploads
EXPOSE 3000

The issue is indeed gone and your most recent changes are very well appreciated too!

Thanks a lot!
