Hi all,
As you may be aware, Django 1.8 migrations have some performance issues,
especially if you have a lot of apps with a lot of migrations. Django 1.9
improved on this somewhat, and AFAICT Django 1.10 solved the problem, so that
the time taken is really mostly the time taken by database operations.
I have just released to PyPI an app[1] which, when installed, makes Django 1.8
use the faster mechanisms present in later Django versions. I hope those of
you who are still on 1.8 may find it useful.
Have fun,
Shai.
