I have created a Custom Image Recognition collection on IBM Cloud and am using it in my Django website to do the processing. However, I noticed that the response time ranges from 6 to 14 seconds.

I want to reduce this turnaround time. I am already zipping the image file that I sent. So when going through the API reference document [here on IBM Cloud](https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/visual-recognition-v4?code=python#get-a-model) I noticed that there is a method called **"get\_model\_file"** which download the collection file to a local space.

But no documentation on how this can be used. Anyone who has successfully implemented this? Or am i missing something here?
