Horrible performance change in past week or so

[ddevault]

At some point in the past week or so, youtube-dl's performance went through the floor. Here's an example:

sircmpwn@homura ~> youtube-dl --verbose --get-url "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FYyeas1Thw"
[debug] System config: []
[debug] User config: []
[debug] Command-line args: ['--verbose', '--get-url', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FYyeas1Thw']
[debug] Encodings: locale UTF-8, fs utf-8, out UTF-8, pref UTF-8
[debug] youtube-dl version 2014.12.17.2
[debug] Python version 3.4.2 - Linux-3.17.6-1-ARCH-x86_64-with-arch
[debug] exe versions: ffmpeg 2.5.1, ffprobe 2.5.1, rtmpdump 2.4
[debug] Proxy map: {}

After this, the URL appeared - 7 minutes later. Not kidding. Also happens without --get-url.

It works fine for me. If it happened when you updated youtube-dl, does it works with the old version? If so, please post which version worked.

Have you check it's not something on your side? Is playing the video in a browser also slow?

I was going to do a bisect to learn more, but it seems to be fine now. Weird.
