Slow images.GetUrlBase() fn call in images.get_serving_url

[Aakash Bapna]

Its taking more than a 1000ms almost everytime, is it known to be slow?

Any suggestions, workarounds?

(Using the python runtime, I call this method just after storing the image on gcs)

If you are generating the images for several times, you could use the asynchronous version of API so you can run in parallel.

Another thing that I do is saving the url from the generate image on your model, so you can just do it once and reuse this url when you need it. This is option is great if only need resizing or cropping, once you can do it appending the right string on url's end:
