It slowed down a bit recently

[hellojinwoo]

It used to be much faster to crawl data such as historical daily prices but recently, it slowed down a bit.

For ticker in ticker_list :  # ticker_list has 445 tickers in total
    yahoo_financials = YahooFinancials(ticker)
    historical_data = yahoo_financials.get_historical_price_data('2019-02-01','2019-02-25, 'daily')

For example, the code above took me about 20 minutes to complete.
Why did it slow down so much and can you handle this issue please?

which version was okay and which version did the slow down happen?

if you didn't change version, the problem is not this code.

[hellojinwoo]

I am using the most recent version, v1.5 and it seems that it slowed down after I installed the version v1.5.

Hi hellojinwoo,

I will do some benchmarking between v1.4 and v1.5 over the coming weekend and get back to you about this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Now it got about 2 times faster than before! I don't know why but I will close this issue :D
