api performance slow

Question

this query takes ~30 seconds. Seems abnormal to me

http://api.stackapps.com/1.0/users/14/questions?pagesize=100&answers=true&body=true&comments=true&page=1

Answer 1

Its slow because the response is so large, and it touches a large amount of data per-question (all answers and comments, by definition).

Its equivalent to visiting every question on the first couple pages of SO, after all.
