前言

标题有点唬人,以前了解过研究 gevent,twisted,scrapy(基于 twisted)。最近有个想法:这些东西比如做爬虫,谁的效率更好呢? 我就写了以下程序(附件)测试然后用 timeit(跑 3 次,每次 10 遍,时间有限)看效果

原理:

  1. 为了防止远程网络的问题,从一个网站爬下网页代码(html),页面下载本地放在了我的本机(gentoo+apache)
  2. 然后爬虫去分析这些页面上面的链接(开始是主页),再挖掘其他页面,抓取页面关键字(我这里就是个‘py’) 程序打包 Crawler.tar.bz2

先看代码树:

dongwm@localhost ~ $ tree Crawler/
Crawler/
├── common_Crawler.py  #标准爬虫,里面只是多线程编程,抓取分析类在common.py
├── common.py  #共用函数,里面只是抓取页面分析页面关键字
├── common.pyc #你懂得
├── Crawler #scrapy和django框架差不多的用法
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── __init__.pyc
│   ├── items.py #不需要利用,默认
│   ├── pipelines.py
│   ├── settings.py
│   ├── settings.pyc
│   └── spiders #抓取脚本文件夹
│       ├── __init__.py
│       ├── __init__.pyc
│       ├── spiders.py #我做的分析页面,这个和多线程/gevent调用的抓取分析类不同,我使用了内置方法(大家可以修改共用函数改成scrapy的方式,这样三种效果就更准确了)
│       └── spiders.pyc
├── gevent_Crawler.py #gevent版本爬虫,效果和标准版一样,抓取分析类也是common.py 保证其他环节相同,只是一个多线程,一个用协程
├── scrapy.cfg
└── scrapy_Crawler.py #因为scrapy使用是命令行,我用subproess封装了命令,然后使用timeit计算效果

2 directories, 16 files

实验前准备:

停掉我本机使用的耗费资源的进程 firefox,vmware,compiz 等,直到负载保持一个相对拨波动平衡

一些我的看法

虽然我的实验有不够严禁的地方,我的代码能力也有限(希望有朋友看见代码能提供修改意见或更 NB 的版本),但是效果还是比较明显的,我总结下

  1. gevent 确实性能很好,并且很稳定,占用 io 一般 (据说长时间使用有内存泄露的问题?我不理解)
  2. scrapy 这个框架把爬虫封装的很好,只需要最少的代码就能实现,性能也不差 gevent
  3. 多线程编程确实有瓶颈,并且不稳定
