req.stream.read() takes too long / Falcon Slow?

[dsh...@bandwidthx.com]

I just started using the Falcon framework for micro services based on what I read about it.

I'm surprised that it's consistently taking over 1 second for just reading the json payload which is only about 1,500 characters.

payload = req.stream.read()

I put a print statement before and after the above and here's what I got:

'Time before read:', 1483732384.687121

'Time after  read:', 1483732385.688327

Can someone please tell me if there's a better way to read the request?

Thanks

A bit of observation since I posted the issue. My Json payload has 41 elements. And if drop any 15 elements, then it  takes just 1 millisecond to read. The weird thing is that if I drop 14 elements, it still takes 1 full second. There seem to be a tipping point. Is there any configuration setting?

After further investigation, I found that the problem is actually with uwsgi. But even changing different settings e.g. buffer-size for uwsgi did not help.

Just curious, did you try another WSGI server such as gunicorn?
