Serving thousands of packages
-----------------------------
By default, pypiserver scans the entire packages directory each time an
incoming HTTP request occurs. This isn't a problem for a small number of
packages, but causes noticeable slowdowns when serving thousands or tens
of thousands of packages.
If you run into this problem, significant speedups can be gained by enabling
pypiserver's directory caching functionality. The only requirement is to
install the ``watchdog`` package, or it can be installed by installing
``pypiserver`` using the ``cache`` extras option::
pip install pypi-server[cache]

pypiserver, additional speedup can be gained by directly serving the
packages directory.
