This PR improves the performance of
section#summarize_without_students
, used by the home page for signed-in users within a section:#size
instead of#length
to useCOUNT
instead of fetching full association.I've also replaced
uniq
withdistinct
, theuniq
alias is deprecated and will be removed in Rails 5.1.Students within large sections (10k+ students) were seeing ~20 second load times for the home page due to this unoptimized query. Benchmarking
#summarize_without_students
against a single section of 10,000 students, this PR provides a ~70x improvement, which should make this page once again usable for students in large sections.
