Update on the issue: I just upgraded to PHP5 in an attempt to get the speed under control, it didn't work. What I did notice is that even www.debuginc.com/test2.php (which has NO code in it at ALL, only text) takes 5 seconds to load! Upon closer investigation, it seems that with both PHP4 and PHP5, any page that ends on .php takes 5 seconds doing NOTHING before it starts to process and actually load... What could delay any given .php page for 5 seconds on both PHP4 and PHP5? It doesn't seem to make any sense. I already removed unused CGI modules from the Apache load process, but still a 5 second delay. Another interesting note; if you click from page to page fast enough, it doesn't take as long to load. For some reason, after the initial 5 second startup hic, it loads consequent pages smoothly. If you wait for 10 seconds and then click a link, it loads for 5 seconds again. I don't get this, especially since it seems to affect both PHP4 and PHP5... - Gerard > > On Feb 24, 2005, at 4:54 AM, Gerard wrote: > > > Hello people, > > > > Recently, one of my webservers became rather slow.
