# Performance with Memory Updates

> Example showing how to evaluate performance when memory updates are involved.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Python file">
    ```python performance_with_memory.py theme={null}
    """Run `uv pip install openai agno memory_profiler` to install dependencies."""

    from agno.agent import Agent
    from agno.db.sqlite import SqliteDb
    from agno.eval.performance import PerformanceEval
    from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses

    # Memory creation requires a db to be provided
    db = SqliteDb(db_file="tmp/memory.db")


    def run_agent():
        agent = Agent(
            model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
            system_message="Be concise, reply with one sentence.",
            db=db,
            update_memory_on_run=True,
        )

        response = agent.run("My name is Tom! I'm 25 years old and I live in New York.")
        print(f"Agent response: {response.content}")

        return response


    response_with_memory_updates_perf = PerformanceEval(
        name="Memory Updates Performance",
        func=run_agent,
        num_iterations=5,
        warmup_runs=0,
    )

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        response_with_memory_updates_perf.run(print_results=True, print_summary=True)
    ```
