Description
Bug report
Required Info:
- Operating System:
- Windows 10
- Installation type:
- From source
- Version or commit hash:
- Current master
- DDS implementation:
- All
- Client library (if applicable):
- rclpy
Steps to reproduce issue
On a Windows box, do the following with and without a daemon node running:
- Start an action server
ros2 run action_tutorials_cpp fibonacci_action_server - Ensure daemon is not running
ros2 daemon stop - Query action server info
ros2 action info /fibonacci_action_server
Expected behavior
Querying with and without a daemon running takes a comparable amount of time.
Actual behavior
Querying with a daemon running takes a way longer.

Research direction
Start with the reported Windows 10 reproduction using ros2 run action_tutorials_cpp fibonacci_action_server and ros2 action info /fibonacci_action_server. Compare timings with the daemon stopped and running via ros2 daemon stop; trace the CLI and daemon path involved in the query. Done means both modes take comparable time.
