implementing Custom Middleware in Django 3.2 Causing Slow Response Times
I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I've been working on this all day and I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. I've implemented a custom middleware in my Django 3.2 application to log request and response times, but I'm noticing a important slowdown in response times, especially for larger requests. My middleware looks like this: ```python import time from django.utils.deprecation import MiddlewareMixin class LogResponseTimeMiddleware(MiddlewareMixin): def process_request(self, request): # Start time for the request self.start_time = time.time() def process_response(self, request, response): # Calculate total response time duration = time.time() - self.start_time print(f'Response time for {request.path}: {duration:.2f}s') return response ``` I've added this middleware to my `MIDDLEWARE` settings in `settings.py`, but it seems to add a noticeable delay when handling requests. For example, a simple request that should take less than 200ms is now taking over 500ms. I've tried profiling the middleware code using the `cProfile` module, and it shows that the time spent in `process_response` is relatively low, but the overall response time is still high. I've also checked my database queries and confirmed that they are optimized. Is there a more efficient way to log request times without affecting performance? Should I consider using asynchronous logging or possibly move this logging to a different context? Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Any help would be greatly appreciated! This issue appeared after updating to Python 3.9. What's the best practice here?
