Hey guys,

[running gentoo]

I have a dual core dual xeon system with 16GBs of RAM. I recently installed projectpier, which required me to recompile php with simplexml support. This also took me from php-5.2.12 to php-5.2.14.

Everything is now INCREDIBLY slow. I've rolled back to php-5.2.13 and still have the same issues. I've recompiled apache and php six ways from sunday, and I still can't get the damn server to respond faster then a drunken monkey. With threads, with out, prefork, worker mps. Nothing can get it back to it's previous speed.

Static content < 1MB is taking 5-7 seconds to load. Displaying a static table with 500 records takes well over two minutes.

Any thoughts? Anyone else upgrade and experience similar issues?

I was doing static content to ensure it wasn't an issue with mysql, and I think the slow down also means it's not PHP.

I'm really at a loss, anything idea's or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    Logfiles, logfiles, logfiles. anything in there?

      Forgot about this thread. There was nothing in any of the log files that was out of place or indicative of a problem. I still suffer from this problem from time to time, mainly when the router resets. It turns out that when I was told "No, we didn't make any hardware changes to the network" they really meant "We took down the VPN and migrated to a whole new router with IPV6 translation" and the fact that I had just recompiled PHP was coincidental. I've found that restarting my network services solves the problem till the next time the router reboots.

      Unfortunately our router is "handled" by a contractor and no one knows anything about it or can be bothered to ask if we are having problems.
