Motivation¶

A cprofile report shows that a lot of time is being spent in RepositoryVersion.add_content() which interacts with the database on a unit-by-unit level. This is taking a long time. We need to improve the interface to perform add_content and remove_content via bulk operations.

Solution¶

1. Create a test in python that adds/removes X number of content units to a repo version
2. Benchmark the test
3. Update add_content and remove_content to support lists of content
4. Benchmark the change

I'll probably use different values of X starting with 1,000 and increasing up by factors of 10.
