# How long should it take to index Assets

Our current system has a set of indexer nodes that index all of your assets across a variety of different jobs depending on the asset type. Typically, the longest jobs are proxy generation, and our core vision job that runs the embeddings and additional metadata.

Latest benchmarks suggest that our proxies typically run at 16x the frame-rate of your video, however various factors can contribute to this depending on the amount of files you've uploaded at a given time and more. Shade will do its best to parse and process files on a first upload first index basis. &#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://academy.shade.inc/help-center/general-faq/how-long-should-it-take-to-index-assets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
