Running time

[dmpetrov]

DVC use to be optimized for running time. It looks like another round of optimization is needed.

Even simple command run in an empty repo takes about 1 second:

$ time dvc init -q

real	0m0.942s
user	0m0.576s
sys	0m0.307s

$ dvc add -q users.csv

real	0m1.274s
user	0m1.416s
sys	0m0.501s

dvc run -q -d users.csv -o model.pkl -o metrics.json 'sed -e '\''s/data/USERS data/'\'' users.csv > model.pkl; touch metrics.json'

real	0m1.371s
user	0m1.491s
sys	0m0.492s

Also

$ time dvc completion >/dev/null

real	0m0.898s
user	0m0.828s
sys	0m0.076s

which e.g. prevents recommending adding eval "$(dvc completion -s bash)" to .bashrc
