for me, it was to set loglevel higher up and reduce the number of prints that my code was doing. since I was using a logger instead of prints, it was pretty easy.

If you're using some framework that spits out its own progress bars, then I'd look into disabling those from options available.

Turning off logs entirely I don't know, will let clearml ppl respond to that.

For sure though the comms of CPU monitoring and epoch monitoring will lead to a lot of calls... but i'll agree 80k seems excessive.

To debug how many of them are retries vs original calls: try putting worker and server on the same network, avoid DNS entirely. On my end, this had the biggest impact (most calls were retries due to networking issues).
