slow post request RoR | 易学教程

问题

I've a problem with a slow post request in a RoR app. the project is a distribuited system wher the client send a lot of photos and the server save those in DB. I use MySql server 5.1, both client and the server are in the same local network and they are programmer in RoR.... the client send 10 photo in a single request. the 10 photos are send in an array structure in yaml format. the request is:

res = Net::HTTP.post_form(uri, :mac => 'String', :value => 'Yaml_array_images_data', :num => 10)

and the log says:

`Started POST "/events/save_photo" for 192.168.0.113 at 2012-03-30 09:45:10 +0200

My first problem is the difference by total time and the sum between views time and activerecord time.

After that this times are in the log of the server, so those are the execution time of the request. If I take the time, in the client, from send request to receive respond, it's 3,6 seconds! Why? I don't think that in local network are needed 2 second to transfer 200k!

回答1:

there's a lot of things happening between client sending request and server sending response

to name a few:

client resolves dns(usually it's cached)
client initiates http connection
client actually posts the data
whatever server you have there accepts post request and enqueues it to be processed by your rails stack
request goes through all the rack middlewares you have before actually hitting your controller
your request is processed by controller and response is generated
response is then transferred to client and browser parses and renders it

what you see in your server logs is probably only point 6, everything else depends on your app setup and properties of your response(html with lots of css, javascripts, images, etc)

regarding your problem with time differences in this line:

Completed 200 OK in 1957ms (Views: 10.2ms | ActiveRecord: 1466.6ms)

detailed time consumption(in parenthesis) is not entirely detailed. it is missing GC time(which probably was invoked if you send files as yaml-formatted parameters), it is also missing time spent in your before filters and action itself.
