These are the models involved in the view :

Additionally this is the view that queries the models:
def list_movies(request, time_period):
city = utils.get_city_from_request(request)
if time_period == 'proximas-dos-horas':
(start_date,
end_date,
hours_start,
hours_end) = utils.get_datetime_filters_from_time_period(time_period)
else:
(start_date,
end_date) = utils.get_datetime_filters_from_time_period(time_period)
if not start_date: # 404 for invalid time periods
raise Http404
movies = Movie.objects.filter(
showtime__city=city.code,
showtime__visible=1,
).order_by('-tsm').distinct()
if time_period == 'proximas-dos-horas':
movies = movies.filter(
showtime__start_date__lte=start_date,
showtime__end_date__gte=end_date,
showtime__time__range=(hours_start, hours_end))
elif time_period == 'proximos-estrenos':
movies = movies.filter(
showtime__start_date=None,
showtime__end_date=None,
)
else:
movies = movies.filter(
showtime__start_date__lte=start_date,
showtime__end_date__gte=end_date)
context = {'movies': movies, 'city': city, 'time_period': time_period}
return render_to_response('list_movies.html', context,
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
Currently this view is consuming a lot of resources in the database and this results in low response time of the web transaction on the browser. I connected the app with New Relic monitoring software to analyze the transactions on app and DB level. This is the trace detail that i got:
I would like to get somo advice on optimizing this view so that the consumption of DB resources drops to the minimum
Thanks a lot!
