We don't currently store the full history of each page in RESTBase, so your first access will trigger an on-demand parse of older revisions not yet in storage, which is relatively slow. Repeat accesses will load those revisions from disk (SSD), which will be a lot faster.
With a majority of clients now supporting HTTP2 / SPDY, use cases that benefit from manual batching are becoming relatively rare. For a use case like revision retrieval, HTTP2 with a decent amount of parallelism should be plenty fast. Gabriel On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 2:24 PM, C.
