Description
This is a reminder ticket to continue the discussion started in #2366.
Recap: on Windows we use NtQuerySystemInformation(SystemProcessInformation)
to collect multiple process info about all PIDs (Windows is the only platform which allows this). This data structure is used on a per-process basis, meaning it's discarded (or to put it another way, it's unnecessarily fetched for every Process
instance).
psutil.process_iter()
could be tweaked in a way that it passes the entire structure to the Process
instances, and this way we would have a performance boost. In detail, read the considerations written in #2366 (comment).
