Significant optimization is possible by adding a key to the start document metadata that describes if orientation info is available and for what geometries. A use_md_key=True kwarg (default) to util.list_orientation_runs() would support the new key. Old-style search would still be possible by setting use_md_key=False.
Execution time of
util.list_orientation_runs()is proportional to catalog size. On one workstation, 10 runs/second is typical since this code must be executed for every run to be checked: https://github.com/bluesky/hklpy/blob/f91c18df37ba4ce7feff52fbe60583ca0e106bef/hkl/util.py#L306-L315Significant optimization is possible by adding a key to the start document metadata that describes if orientation info is available and for what geometries.
