Ouch… Indeed, this is the price we pay now for not having a real database engine behind this “brainstorm database”… Maybe I can try to reduce a bit the number of times this function is called in this context, or suggest another way for you to work.
But I’d need some input for identifying the bottlenecks efficiently. Can you please send me screen captures showing the full summary of the profiler, sorted by “self time”?
What version of Brainstorm are you running? On line 3540 of bst_get.m, there is a comment now…
