❔ Improving performance for Process.Start
I have an application that will run a python script using Process.Start. At the end, I'm reading the output with
process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(). If I run the script on it's own, it runs in about 1 second. But running it this way takes about 2 seconds. Is there any way I could reduce some overhead? Is reading output time consuming?9 Replies
Maybe a pipe would be faster?
maybe make the script write the output to a file?
and then read the file
I can give it a shot. I assumed that would be slower, but it wouldn't take long to test it out
u could use IronPython and execute the python script directly in ur dotnet process
for a quick start guide u can use this SO answer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41064961/how-to-use-python-in-net-core-application#answer-61891763
ipy can be much slower than even cpython for what it’s worth
unless you want to do some complicated interop i would not do it
if reading from stdout works then it is not complicated
Without seeing your code, this is the best suggestion I can offer you

Process.start: how to get the output?
I would like to run an external command line program from my Mono/.NET app.
For example, I would like to run mencoder. Is it possible:

Using asynchronous data streams may be your fastest choice, but it can be annoying to set up.
it's also lagging significantly behind cpython iirc
