+ + +ECHO Memory · Performance Update
+Releases v1.1.0 and v1.2.0 rebuilt the vault's network layer and entity + resolution. Long operations that used to exceed the agent tool timeout and drop the + session now complete in under a second — and shortened entity names resolve instead of + spawning duplicates.
+ +Scripts that sweep the whole vault — sweep.py,
+ vault_lint.py, recall rebuild — were making hundreds of serial
+ requests, each opening a fresh TLS connection, and re-reading every note 2–3 times.
+ On the constrained agent sandbox that pushed a single pass past the ~120-second tool
+ timeout, so the process was killed mid-run and the session/thread was dropped. The
+ fix attacks the cause on three axes; the headline change is reliability:
+ a full-vault pass that used to fail now finishes in well under a second.
These factors compound. A full-vault pass pays + 4.5× less per request, issues ~2–3× fewer + of them, and runs the rest ~2× in parallel — a modeled + ~18–27× reduction in total request-time, before counting the + higher connection latency of the production sandbox where the old path actually failed.
+One persistent + connection per thread, reused across every request — instead of a fresh TCP+TLS + handshake per file. The single biggest win; benefits every operation + (load, capture, recall) for free.
A new read_many()
+ fans GETs across a thread pool (8 workers). I/O-bound work, so it parallelizes
+ cleanly; the win grows with vault size and network latency.
Each note is fetched
+ once and reused across all passes — eliminating the 2–3× re-reads and
+ the per-link-target re-fetch storm in sweep.
Shortened names now resolve + via aliases + a fuzzy fallback, so a mention like “echo memory” finds the + existing project instead of silently creating a duplicate note.
Micro-benchmark: 25 real notes, best of 3 runs, against the live endpoint.
+ +| Mode | ms / request | vs old |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh connection per GET (old) | 30.3 | 1.0× |
| Pooled keep-alive, serial | 6.6 | 4.5× |
| Pooled + concurrent (new default) | 5.7 | 5.3× |
| Operation | serial (1 worker) | concurrent (8) | speedup |
|---|---|---|---|
| vault_lint.py | 1.77 s | 0.90 s | 2.0× |
| sweep.py (plan) | 1.64 s | 0.85 s | 1.9× |
| sweep.py --apply | — | 1.07 s | — |
| single GET · doctor | — | 0.28 s · 0.21 s | — |
Resolution was exact-match only, so a shortened or expanded name returned
+ nothing — and the writer would create a parallel note. The active project
+ slugged echo was invisible to the mention “echo memory.” Now:
| Lookup | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| echo memory · echo plugin · echo-memory | no match | → projects/active/echo.md |
| non-aliased shortened name | no match | ranked candidates |
| update under a new name | second slug, same note | canonical slug + alias learned |
Aliases are auto-derived from titles, learned from mentions on + update, and stored in note frontmatter (folded back into the index on sweep) — so the + graph gets better at resolution over time, while exact-match safety prevents + wrong auto-merges. The payoff is avoided duplicate entities and the cleanup/merge passes + they trigger.
+Methodology. Measured on the maintainer's workstation against the live
+ echoapi.alwisp.com endpoint (low latency). The production agent sandbox has
+ higher per-request connection latency, so the connection-reuse gain — and the reliability
+ fix — is larger there than the local figures show. The ~18–27× compound is a model of
+ the three measured factors (4.5× reuse × ~2× concurrency × ~2–3× fewer reads),
+ not a single end-to-end timing. Stdlib-only; no new dependencies.
Artifacts. echo-memory v1.2.0 — echo-memory-1.2.0.plugin.
+ 33 automated tests pass; vault-health linter clean of regressions.
