Speed Up Your Code by Learning AsyncIO

Key Takeaways

Okay, so now we're passing this image processing off to processes instead of threads and our download images are running asynchronous asynchronously on our current thread using async io compatible libraries. Nothing else should need to change in our main function. So let's go ahead and run this and see what our speed up is now. This should go uh much much faster here. Okay, so that was obviously much faster. Uh you can see here that we uh ran this basically in 4.9 to 5 seconds in total. Uh compared to earlier I wrote that down. Our total execution time was 23.54 seconds. Um our downloads are now down to 1.6 seconds. Before that took 13 seconds and our processing only took 3.25 seconds when before that took uh 10 1/2 seconds. So, a big speed up on everything there.
