Actor runs slower then needed

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?

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.
