There were memory and run time improvements made to the pulpcore and pulp_rpm. It's likely that other existing plugins and the newly created ones will eventually reach the point when they are not performant enough. To make it easier for plugin writers and to reduce investigation time in the future, let's add a section to the docs where common sources of performance issues and solutions to them are gathered.

Motivation
There were memory and run time improvements made to the pulpcore and pulp_rpm. It's likely that other existing plugins and the newly created ones will eventually reach the point when they are not performant enough. To make it easier for plugin writers and to reduce investigation time in the future, let's add a section to the docs where common sources of performance issues and solutions to them are gathered.
Solution
Create a page and make a new menu item "Performance" for the plugin writers' guide.
Share the best practices and what was learnt during the recent memory/performance investigation and how to avoid such problems.
