Investigate and fix critical function causing system degradation

[Menjadianjay]

A particular function or step in the application is causing significant performance degradation, impacting overall system functionality. This issue requires thorough evaluation and analysis to identify the root cause and implement an effective fix.

Objectives:

• Identify the specific function or step that is causing the degradation.
• Analyze the performance impact and understand why it affects the rest of the system.
• Review the function logic, algorithm complexity, and resource usage.
• Evaluate potential bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
• Determine if the issue is related to:
  • Inefficient algorithms or data structures
  • Resource leaks (memory, file handles, connections)
  • Blocking operations or synchronous calls
  • Incorrect error handling or edge cases
• Document findings and propose optimization strategies.

Expected Outcome:

• Root cause of the performance issue is identified and documented.
• The function is refactored or optimized to improve performance.
• System performance is restored to acceptable levels.
• Additional tests are added to prevent regression.
