Django Performance Review

Review Django code for validated performance issues. Research the codebase to confirm issues before reporting. Report only what you can prove.

Review Approach

  1. Research first - Trace data flow, check for existing optimizations, verify data volume
  2. Validate before reporting - Pattern matching is not validation
  3. Zero findings is acceptable - Don't manufacture issues to appear thorough
  4. Severity must match impact - If you catch yourself writing "minor" in a CRITICAL finding, it's not critical. Downgrade or skip it.

Impact Categories

Issues are organized by impact. Focus on CRITICAL and HIGH - these cause real problems at scale.

Priority Category Impact
1 N+1 Queries CRITICAL - Multiplies with data, causes timeouts
2 Unbounded Querysets CRITICAL - Memory exhaustion, OOM kills
