Geeklog Forums

I have noticed that for the last month or two most of my sites have become very slow when it comes to Writes and Updates. The sites do Reads quite well and otherwise page loads are very fast all under 1 second. The issue is with Writes and Updates which all seem to be taking 45-60 seconds each.

I have ensured that I am running the latest version of code for all my plugins. I have also installed the Caching Template Library. After doing so the site seems to perform even better doing Reads but Writes and Updates are still painfully slow.

One affected site: http://www.trains-n-town.com/

For the most part my sites have very low traffic and they all seemed to be fine until recently. I have made sure I am running FastCGI and I have checked my Databases but still very slow.

I have contacted my Hosts Support desk but if anyone has any ideas while I am waiting to hear back from them I am willing to try almost anything.

Are you running Bad Behavior? We've noticed a few slow downs with it lately. See if disabling it affects your speed problem.

Thank You! That was it. One note however, just disabling the plugin is not enough. You have to remove the line added to lib-common before you get the benefits.



I really like the idea of Bad Behavior but this is the second time it has caused me problems. I guess I will wait and see what negative affect disabling it has before I worry about needing a version that I can trust.

Unless I missed an update, the Geeklog port of Bad Behavior seems to be two minor releases behind the original by now (2.0.11 vs. 2.0.13). Not sure if that would make a difference, though ...

bye, Dirk

I think Mark is looking into it. But he discovered the issue with BB on a test site a couple days ago.

Mark just updated bad behavior.
