Use the fastest installed zlib compatible library with aiohttp
zlib is be a bottleneck for aiohttp, especially for websocket connections. aiohttp-fast-zlib
replaces usage of zlib
in aiohttp
with isal
or zlib-ng
which is a drop-in faster replacement in most cases. Be sure to read the isal documentation and the zlib-ng documentation.
Install this via pip (or your favourite package manager):
pip install aiohttp-fast-zlib[isal]
pip install aiohttp-fast-zlib[zlib-ng]
Enable isal or zlib-ng support in aiohttp by calling enable
import aiohttp_zlib_fast
# isal is preferred over zlib_ng if it is available
aiohttp_zlib_fast.enable()
aiohttp_zlib_fast.enable()
