galaxyInstance.histories.show_matching_datasets is slow / times out

[alexlenail]

Hello Bioblend developers,

I'm here to report that

galaxyInstance.histories.show_matching_datasets('history_id')

is slow (no results in 20 minutes). @bgruening mentioned this function might not be optimized properly.

@martenson pointed me towards another method which solves this issue:

galaxyInstance.histories.show_history('history_id', contents=True)

which was dramatically faster (completes in 3 seconds).

It may make sense to either deprecate or improve the implementation of show_matching_datasets.

I leave that to you!
