Hi Ted You can cut down the lag by 5 secs if you delete the "time.sleep( 5 )" in '~/lib/galaxy/jobs/manager.py' ( line 155) (see also my e-mail from Nov 7: in this email conversation: http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/Jobs-are-slow-to-start-on-my-galaxy-instan... There has been a follow up discussion on the IRC Channel: as it turns out, this time delay is necessary for certain users, depending on their set-up - Hence be careful, when deleting it.

This Galaxy speed and production question reminded me that I have been meaning to raise the following question on the list:

For a single job (workflow item), It seems like there is a 20 second lag before the job is launched. It gives the impression that Galaxy is slow and unresponsive (in the sports car sense). I imagine that it is a combination of python's poor thread architecture and web polling latency. Has anyone looked into the latency of running a process?
