Slow request times with https://api.anaconda.org/package/conda-forge/cupy

[jakirkham]

We are seeing slow request times with cupy from Anaconda.org

@kmaehashi put together a nice example of this in this comment ( conda-forge/cupy-feedstock#270 (comment) ) quoted below:

It seems the badge uses the anaconda API. Just a wild guess but shileds.io has some parse size/time limit?

% curl -s https://api.anaconda.org/package/conda-forge/cupy | wc
  429732  656384 10675675
% curl -s https://api.anaconda.org/package/conda-forge/numpy | wc
  211623  332622 5539668

It appears it is taking twice as long to make requests of cupy on Anaconda.org as numpy

@jezdez do you know who should we route this issue to? 🙂

@jezdez For context, the actual issue that we are trying to address is the CuPy icon is not working: conda-forge/cupy-feedstock#270. As long as it is restored, I honestly don't care how long the request time is 😅

@leofang I bubbled it up at Anaconda to see what the problem is, I don't know myself
