We also introduce a performance improvement which reduces runtime for fetching the EMP500 (qiita study 13114) by over 50%. These gains are achieved by (a) avoiding taxonomy lookup for ASVs and (b) doubling buffer sizes for key calls to reduce HTTP requests. We did not observe further reductions in runtime by increasing buffers further.
Closing out a few issues
