Speed Impact: HighLow / Variable
Removing Listing Restrictions will give you an almost guaranteed speed boost of x2. It basically tells you whether you need approval to list a particular product, so you need to decide how important this is for you. Consider using filters (see below), or running things once without and a second time with this data (but that’s what filters are supposed to achieve anyway)or not requesting data may give a speed boost by removing the overhead of using a particular part of the API.
