Is there a better way to get thousans of VirtualMachine information in a single vCenter?

object_type = []
properties = {
    'VirtualMachine': ['config', 'guest', 'name', 'parent', 'runtime'],
     'HostSystem': ['name']
}
with vCenterPropertyCollector(vcenter, object_type, properties) as result:

class vCenterPropertyCollector(vCenterBase):
    """collect designation properties of vcenter object

    using Managed-object 'ProertyCollector' to retrieve properties
    """
    def __init__(self, vcenter, object_type, properties):
        super(vCenterPropertyCollector, self).__init__(vcenter)

        self._properties = properties

    def __enter__(self):
        self.connect()
        result = self._collect(self._object_type, self._properties)
        return result

    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        self.disconnect()

    def _collect(self, object_type, properties):
        si = self.si
        if si is None:
            return {}

        result = dict(content=si.content)
        container = si.content.rootFolder
        objs = self.get_container_view(container, object_type)
        props = parse_propspec(properties)
        try:
            objects = self.collect_object_property(objs, props)

            result.update({key: value})
        return result

        options = vmodl.query.PropertyCollector.RetrieveOptions(maxObjects=maxObjects)
        result = pc.RetrievePropertiesEx([filterSpec], options)

        # because the maximum number of objects retrieved by RetrievePropertiesEx and
        # ContinueRetrievePropertiesEx is limit to 100, so, we need to continue retrieve
        # properties using token
        def _continue(token=None):
            _result = pc.ContinueRetrievePropertiesEx(token)
            _token = _result.token

            _objects = _continue(token)
            objects.extend(_objects)

        return objects

This is my current code to obtain virtual machine information in a single, but when the number of virtual machine becomes large, it will become very slow.

How can i solve the problem? Or do you have better way?
Thanks!

Start by examining vCenterPropertyCollector._collect and collect_object_property, especially the RetrievePropertiesEx and ContinueRetrievePropertiesEx flow shown in the issue. Profile retrieval with large numbers of VirtualMachine objects and compare an improved approach against the current behavior; done means obtaining the requested VM information with measurably better performance.
