The community member is experiencing a significant slowdown when retrieving a storage connection from disk. The comments suggest several solutions:
- Don't save to disk, as it's not meant for large datasets
- Use storage integrations instead
- Pickle the entire storage context, which can be faster
- Store everything in a Chroma DB store, as suggested by another community member
The comments indicate that the Chroma DB store solution worked for the community member who was experiencing the slowdown.
