I’ve googled this and not managed to find what i was looking for…
I have a brand new PI3B+ manual install (not HASSIO) and everything is working great but i don’t really use the history collection. I had tuned the recorder component so that i only keep two days and purge every day to this:
# Enables support for tracking state changes over time
history:
recorder:
purge_interval: 1
purge_keep_days: 2
Touble is that i have alot of zwave devices (which i’m tuning too) but thought as a quick win on performance if i could completely disable history and recorder i would get some gains. I tried rem-ing out “#” all of the above in the configuration.yaml file and restarting HA but i still see datestamp updates on the “home-assistant_v2.db” file. I even tried stopping HA, deleting the .db file and restarting it and it seems to get recreated.
How can i make HA faster by tuning this / disabling it ?
Thanks!

p.s. this is the install method i used:
