Make uniprot loading faster #65

Closed luispedro closed 12 years ago

luispedro commented 14 years ago

It's just too much right now.

ElementTree is rumoured to be faster than amara, but you can't use it as a drop in replacement because it doesn't have a direct replacement for pushbind()

Alternatively, we only load the major species (Mus Musculus, Homo Sapiens,...)

Really? Granted it's the majority of the loading time, but certainly not more than half (I should do a rebuild and time each component). Plus loading time isn't a huge concern, since ideally the end users don't experience it. As long as it's not taking more than a few hours to build the entire database, I don't see it being much of a problem, certainly not worth yanking out Amara. Maybe we could do some local optimizations in the code itself.

Just my $0.02.

done.
