I found that there is a one-second waiting time when the process just sleeps. See this issue/comment: https://github.com/workhorsy/py-cpuinfo/issues/205#issuecomment-1833653828
Therefore, I would try to do something else than caching. The one second overhead is there even if the result is cached, and it accumulates per process you run. If you consider a very quick process that calls as a dependency get_cpu_info
, and this process is called hundrends or thousands of times per hour, then this overhead becomes unacceptable.
oh wow... I didn't realize that this 1 second might not really be needed when patching pytables
yesterday to not run this on import but just when needed.
It would really be great to have fine-grained control about what information is gathered, since tables only needs cache sizes I think.
get_cpu_info
takes a relatively long time and seems to do the full work everytime the function is called.However, there is probably no way this information can change during the lifetime of a running program (maybe I am missing something?).
So the result could be cached and returned immediately on subsequent calls
