We've recently gotten the SOAP4R working through Ruby (http://jira4r.rubyhaus.org/) and are starting to try and automate Codehaus's JIRA instance (jira.codehaus.org)

Unfortunately we've run into some performance stumbling blocks.

getProjects() takes over 2 minutes to return (and around 4M of data) - we have 288 projects
getProjectsNoSchemes() takes 20s to return (and around 200K of data).

Neither of these are satisfactory, as we often need to update the project and can not do this without the permission information being in the RemoteProject object.

We're wondering if you could add a getProject(projectKey) interface; for completeness you might want getProjectByKey, getProjectById (however we don't actually need this at present).

Thanks,

Ben
