RSS Sync and searching for new episodes is slow

Hi,

I’ve noticed that the RSS sync started being really slow for me.
It currently takes well over 5 minutes (probably a lot more) to process 200 rss reports.

At first, I thought it was just my home NAS which runs on WHS 2011.
Then, I tried it on a VPS running ubuntu, and it had the same problem.

There doesn’t seem to be anything in the log specifically, but what I can do to either find the problem and fix it?
I am currenty on ubuntu 12.04.4 with NzbDrone v2.0.0.1161 and mono 3.2.1

Yeah, not sure what the issue is yet, but we’re aware and they’re on Trello: https://trello.com/c/yekHQN1V/568-slow-rss-sync-time and https://trello.com/c/f9uCjDdy/569-slow-episode-search-time

Cool.
I hadn’t noticed them.

One thing I did notice is that importing a show from an existing disk while the rss sync is going, actually slows it down.
So, if possible, maybe the rss sync task could be given priority over other tasks?
I’m not sure if that’s possible in c#.

You can set a thread priority, but generally you want foreground or operations based on an action to be higher priority than a background job, so its the opposite direction we’d want to go.

Some changes I’m making right now drastically improve RSS processing speed so I don’t see this being an issue soon.

I’m glad to see this fixed.
I haven’t checked the commit log, but whatever you did, it also definitely lowered the cpu load when ND is idle.
