The offer to investigate any runnable example stands! Do make sure to check out the persistent\_term backend [Absinthe.Schema.PersistentTerm — absinthe v1.11.0](https://hexdocs.pm/absinthe/Absinthe.Schema.PersistentTerm.html) which we’re promoting out of the Experimental namespace in the next release. It has proven to be both faster and easier to work with.

I’m seeing the original post was on Absinthe 1.5.0, and we definitely fixed an N^2 regression in our variable handling somewhere in a release between that and latest. Hopefully you’ve updated since!
