I am using postgresql memory for my agent and after I update to the latest selfhosted version 1.100.1
i am experiencing a lack of speed, for instance just a simple hi takes 8s to process.
I need help.
thanks
I’ve been experiencing the same thing. I’m pretty sure it’s a bug. The latest version without this issue is 1.91.3, so it’s been around for quite a while. For now, the only workaround is to downgrade. From time to time, I upgrade my instance to check if they’ve fixed it, but I just tested version 1.103.0 and the bug is still there. It takes around 4 to 5 seconds for an empty flow with just an agent (no system prompt) replying to a simple “Hi” using Gemini Flash 2.0. In version 1.91.3, it takes less than a second.
The same issue happens with the text classifier, so it might be related to all models or possibly all AI-related nodes. I really hope they fix this soon, because it’s impossible to work with complex AI agents if each response takes more than 15 seconds.
Hey Sabatage3
I tried using just for testing the simple memory tool instead of Postgresql and I could down the time to 3-4 seconds.
As I said before, I am just testing for now. Also I am on 1.101.2 version.
I just upgraded my instance to version 1.104.0, and the bug is still present; it’s still taking more than 4 seconds just for a simple “hello” response.
Hi @Gonzalo_Alegre I just upgraded to version 1.108.0 and the issue persists. However, I tried using this env variable N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=false, and it seems to perform faster. It looks like the runners feature might be a bottleneck, or maybe it requires additional settings. I think it’s enabled by default. Could you try that env variable and see if it improves performance?
Hey @Sabatage3, how are you doing? Okey I will try it and I’ll let you know if it works.
I had better performance times just by improving my cloud cpu, memory, etc.
I know it is not really a solution but I handle in that way. I will try what you say
After several days of testing, I think N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=false did the trick. I got a warning that says it will be true by default in the future, and you won’t be able to turn it off. I hope they don’t do that until they fix the slow responses in agents when runners are enabled.
