Overhead added by curl easy in Lua #176

Closed PrateekGoyal18 closed 2 years ago

PrateekGoyal18 commented 3 years ago

I am trying to call an API through curl easy in Lua and noting the response times, which come around 180-200ms on average. But when I try to inspect the Wireshark trace for the tcpdump while calling the API, the response time is ~22ms.

So, I wanted to know what is the amount of overhead added by curl easy in Lua, or has anyone ever faced this issue?

How did you measure Lua time? Did it count a time to load Lua script itself? It will be helpful if you provide a simple test for reproducing this.
