BulkMutateJobService extremely slow

[Peter Niederwieser]

We've been trying to use the new BulkMutateJobService, but it appears
to be extremely slow. Adding 400 text ads in one job consisting of 4
parts took 70 minutes. What could be going wrong here?

Cheers,

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the feedback on this service. Which environment were you
making requests against? Out of curiosity, have you tried adding the
ads using the AdGroupAdService to compare the times?

Eric,

It was a real account, not the sandbox. AdGroupAdService is much
faster. Since the bulk service does not currently meet either of our
expectations (upload whole campaign in one step, faster upload), we
went back to the conventional services.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,

I've talked with the core engineering team about this, and they will
investigate the performance issues you encountered in this scenario.
In general the benefits of the BulkMutateJobService are:

* Operations are automatically applied at an optimal rate, avoiding
operation rate limit errors.
* HTTPS connections to the AdWords servers don't need to remain open
while the work is being done.
* It's cheaper.

Best,
