Well, it's on my list as well since long time so no pressure.

I'm profiling four major flows at the moment, and improving tools along the way.

Here's my series, still being worked on and not yet ready for review (still draft for this reason)

http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:vdsm+branch:master+topic:profile_runtime,n,z

Here we have
1. one patch to start/stop profiling at runtime using vdsClient
2. one simple (simplistic?) benchmark runner script

more will come as need arises. A proper wiki page about how to profile VDSM is planned as well.

The flow which I'm testing are
1. VM startup
2. VM shutdown
3. VM list
4. VM getAllVmStats

with focus on VDSM side, not all the flow; thus, I'm intentionally ruling out Engine from the picture.

1 and 2 because of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1155146
3 and 4 because of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1110835

So far, the profile of #2 was the more puzzling, as no clear bottleneck emerged yet. A new deeper round
is scheduled ASAP.
I found optimizations that affect 1, 3, 4, especially with JSONRPC. Unfortunately, I can't yet test
with vdsClient (see above). Will follow up on that ASAP.

Patches, in order of readiness for review:

http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/35024/
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/34989/
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/35139 (DRAFT)
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/35140 (DRAFT)

Let's see the effect of these in the #3 flows.

Open points:
* profile remaining flows again and report like this (in progress for getAllVmStats)
* add wiki page
* find out why there is a so high minimum price for list verb
* profile JSONRPC (needs patches to vdsClient)

Bests,
