Feature request: Loading Speed about program-y HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey, its actually something I'm working on, on a branch. It seems that I am able to pickle the entire aiml parse tree and then reload it in a fraction of the time. Just running some tests now and should be uploading in a day or so.

Also with this branch, I've added some further speed improvements which reduce individual aiml file loading by a factor of 3-5 so that will help speed up the binary brain too

from program-y.

Ok, I've pushed a new release to Master which contains the code for saving and reloading a brain to a binary file, I'm seeing about a 4x times speed increase in loading times after the initial save.

Documentation to follow on the wiki, but to get a head start the 3 configuration items that control it are

brain:
save_binary: false <---- Save a binary file to the filename below
load_binary: false <---- Load a binary file, previously saved
binary_filename: /tmp/y-bot.brain <---- Name of the binary file

So you first set save to true load to false, run your bot and you will have a binary version of the brain
Then set save to false and load to true and every subsequent run will load the binary version of the file

from program-y.

Brilliant, thanks.
