Hi Ere,

Thanks for your reply. 24700 looks much better. I'll look at backporting it 
locally.

Although I'm looking at JSON::Validator::OpenAPI::Mojolicious at 
https://metacpan.org/pod/release/JHTHORSEN/Mojolicious-Plugin-OpenAPI-2.19/lib/JSON/Validator/OpenAPI/Mojolicious.pm
 and it says "Do not use this module directly. Use Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI 
instead." I notice that you're using the "bundle" method. Do we really need 
that there? Why don't we just load the JSON using the JSON module, merge with 
the plugin spec files, and then pass it to the OpenAPI plugin? Shouldn't the 
plugin take care of the $ref replacement?

Hmm... I didn't realize until now that the OpenAPI plugin was doing a validate 
behind the scenes. That's tricky. 

At a glance, we might be able to pre-load the app into the Starman master 
process pre-fork. There are warnings about doing that with open database 
connections, so we'd need to review plack.psgi, but a quick glance suggests it 
might be OK. (Alternatively, I have wondered about running the REST API as a 
separate process apart from Starman using hypnotoad. According to 
https://docs.mojolicious.org/Mojolicious/Guides/Cookbook, Mojo::Server::Prefork 
preloads the application in the manager/master process, and Hypnotoad is based 
off that, so that would help.)

It does seem like changes to the OpenAPI plugin would be needed for caching. 

I'm going to try backporting your change and try pre-loading and see how far 
that gets me.

Hi,

I did some work on improving it here:

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24700

That shaved a good bit of time from it, but it's still a heavy operation, and 
it would make sense to

1.) avoid doing it too often

2.) cache the results and avoid doing it if results are cached

If you could address the first one, that'd go a long way. I'm afraid the second 
one would require changes to the OpenAPI plugin to support caching.
