Hpodder takes forever to fetch feeds. #2

Open ghost opened 13 years ago

ghost commented 13 years ago

archlinux recently updated some haskell packages and now it takes forever to update my 27 feeds :(

I'm building hpodder from git.

jgoerzen commented 13 years ago

I'm probably going to need more information about that -- in particular, try going back to the old versions of the packages, update them one at a time until you find the one that causes the slowdown.

If a feed contains lots of episodes, it sure takes a long time to load. I tried to read the source but since I'm unfamiliar with Haskell, I couldn't determine what approach is used to parse the feed XML: i.e. whether the entire document must be loaded, DOM-style, or elements are processed one by one, SAX-style. If I'm only interested in the latest 20 episodes, hpodder could stop reading the feed XML when those episodes have been loaded.

Can you give an example of a feed that triggers this?

mthorslund commented 13 years ago

Sure can: http://api.sr.se/api/rssfeed/rssfeed.aspx?poddfeed=4901
