files=1-50 and prune article lists? |
→Portals with many images: rotated subnational articles |

Line 93:
:{{re|Certes}} That's rather late in the piece to be limiting the number of images. The expensive (time-consuming) work is likely to be in the {{tt|extractRegularFiles}} function, which does a bunch of string manipluation and (potentially) preprocessing of templates in a loop. - <u>'''[[User:Evad37|Evad]]''37'''''</u> <span style="font-size:95%;">[[[d:w:User talk:Evad37|talk]]]</span> 13:29, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
::You're right; it's too late. extractRegularFiles is efficient: gsub takes 0.32 seconds, some of which lies elsewhere. I suspect the time goes even earlier, in the parse function of Module:Excerpt/portals (which is mainly my fault, though the attribution has become separated). The killer there is retrieving up to 100 file description pages to check for non-free licences. We should probably set files=1-50 rather than 100 in this module but also remove some articles from the list in Portal:Pakistan and similar cases.

:I've removed subnational articles such as [[Quetta]] from [[Portal:Pakistan]]. It now renders in 6 seconds, of which only 2 s is the slideshow. As an experiment, I've introduced some variety via a region of the day: one final article of {{tlx|Random item|Islamabad|Lahore|Karachi|Quetta|Peshawar|Northern Pakistan}} rotates the evicted images.
