Neo4j stream through Java driver is slower than Neo4j desktop

Question

Im running a Neo4j docker in my local and trying to access via Java driver and neo4j desktop. I understand that results are streamed after the execution.

I get a difference in completion time between neo4j desktop and java driver. The former completes in 18 ms where as later takes 220 ms for the same query. Am I missing anything to configure in Java driver(4.1.1)

Please note that the response time doesn't include the session time and its not a first query. I understand that for the first query execution takes bit longer than subsequent queries

Answer 1

In the Neo4j browser, the Driver object is already instantiated after logging in, which means that the only object used ( and for which the time is representative ), it the time a Session takes to execute a transaction.

The Driver object instantiation in the Java driver is the slowest one, so you should really measure only the Session time to run the transaction.
