About Quickly Measuring a Method Execution Time in Django Shell
You can use timeit module to quickly measure a method execution time in Django shell, as follows:
>>> from timeit import timeit
>>> from posts.models import Post
>>> p = Post.objects.first()
>>> timeit(lambda: p.generate_pdf(), number=5)
5.923993167001754
>>> timeit(lambda: p.generate_docx(), number=5)
2.7514753749710508
The number argument tells the timeit module to execute the callable 5 times and then calculates the average execution time.
