Hey @mhtrinh, have you observed the same slowdown with the newer versions of ClearML? The most recent one is 1.14.4

[mhtrinh]

Yes, this happen also with the current version 1.14.4, as 2x slower.

Note : this may be specific to fastai as we have another network based on yolov5 and this is not happening

[eugen-ajechiloae-clearml]

Hi @mhtrinh ! It looks like calculating the metrics that ClearML reports may take a long time. We will try to improve performance.
In the meantime, you could disable fastai bindings using auto_connect_frameworks={"fastai": False} in Task.init

[eugen-ajechiloae-clearml]

Hi @mhtrinh ! We will release a fix for this issue in the next clearml release clearml==1.16.0

[pollfly]

Hey @mhtrinh! Just letting you know that this issue has been resolved in the recently released v1.16.0. Let us know if there are any issues :)
