Optimizing Volley

Question

I am using Volley library in android.I run the same url in the browser and it returns in less than a second.I would like to know , how can optimize Volley? Not clear on what is the Cache Queue Take represents and why it is 3.6 seconds. or why cache queue take and network complete are added for a response time that is 6.8 seconds? How should I optimize volley for services that do not use ETags. Also what is the BasicNetwork.logSlowRequests

Answer 1

I just answered this here : How to optimize network-queue-take in android Volley? (Volley Google IO 2013)

logSlowRequests just logs requests that are slow (over 3000ms), nothing more complicated there. network-http-complete is how long it takes to download the request and pass it off to the parser.
