There are around 200k+, 50+ rows in a couple of tables, with sqlite file weighing around 600MB. The app runs on a VPS with 2 core CPU, 4GB RAM and refreshing database page regularly takes more than 10 seconds. I was suspecting that counting tables was the culprit, but manually running `select count(*) from table_name` for the largest table finishes under a second. I've looked at the source code. There's a check for index page for mutable databases larger than 100MB https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/799c5d53570d773203527f19530cf772dc2eeb24/datasette/views/index.py#L15 but this check is not performed for database page. I've manually crippled `Database::table_counts` method ```py async def table_counts(self, limit=10): if not self.is_mutable and self.cached_table_counts is not None: return self.cached_table_counts # Try to get counts for each table, $limit timeout for each count counts = {} for table in await self.table_names(): try: # table_count = ( # await self.execute( # ""select count(*) from [{}]"".format(table), # custom_time_limit=limit, # ) # ).rows[0][0] counts[table] = 10 # table_count # In some cases I saw ""SQL Logic Error"" here in addition to # QueryInterrupted - so we catch that too: except (QueryInterrupted, sqlite3.OperationalError, sqlite3.DatabaseError): counts[table] = None if not self.is_mutable: self.cached_table_counts = counts return counts ``` now the page loads in <100ms. Is it possible to apply size check on database page too?
