Actor runs slower then needed

Closed

Hey Natasha, I wondering if you knew if I upgraded my Apify plan to get more ram, would I be able to run this actor faster? Or is there no way of being able to have it run any faster?

This is the run. I noticed the concurrency starts at 1. Is there anyway you can make it so I can adjust the concurrency to whatever I'd desire?

Ondrej Klinovský (ondrejklinovsky)

Hey,

thanks for your questions. Unfortunately we need to limit the concurrency in order to avoid running out of memory - both browser and Google Maps are memory heavy apps.

Running the actor with more memory will make it faster, though the start of the actor (first 1-2 minutes) will be about the same.

You could try a different actor Google Maps Extractor - it doesn't use browser so it's much faster and memory light. It doesn't scrape everything, but it does scrape gasPrices. I'm sharing a run with similar input to yours so you can compare.
