Calling add_object takes a long time within a for loop

[mrmouldflo]

Hello,

I am trying to add an object to an existing node in a for loop. But when i time it, for each iteration of add_object, it takes around a second to execute. Is there something wrong in the way i call the API:

Sample Code:

#Add External channels
extchannels = devSet.get_child(['%s:TCD_Mouldflo_%s' % (0,nodeID),'2:DeviceZone','2:ExternalChannels'])
external_channels = ua.NodeId.from_string('ns=%d;i=5005' % idx)

for num in range(1, channeldata + 1, 1):
myobj1 = extchannels.add_object(ua.NodeId(namespaceidx=ns),'2:ExternalChannel_%s' % num,external_channels)

I want to improve the performance of add_object method.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Kindly advice.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Murali
