 * Is there a good way to monitor whats going on in the back.
 * On my local machine as soon as I update or save anything in the back end my site
   becomes super slow.
 * I remove the db, grab the one from online again and everything is fast. I login,
   save or change anything in the back end and it becomes super slow again.
 * Thanks

 * What is the Local machine for? Does it matter if its not what your users see?
   
   When you change something its processing everything dynamically to deleiver the
   page. Threafter its probably pulling from cache either from WP (if you use a 
   cache plugin) or your browser. Normal.

 * Yes it’s local but at this point I’m worried that something I did and eventually
   I’ll do the same online.
 * I know about caching, I know quite a bit about wordpress dev. Even if cached 
   the pages take about 4 minutes to load. Online seconds.
 * I’m thinking my data might be corrupted somehow, hence wanting to track whats
   going on. And yes I’ve disabled ALL the plugins and still get the same issue.

 * Is your local machine Windows or Linux/UNIX?
    If Windows run Sysinternal’s Process
   Monitor. If you don’t have it you can get it from Microsoft [HERE](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb842062.aspx).
   If Linux, in another session run: top and also ps -ef (or ps -aux) Must be something
   else going on. Other you will have to see if a WP plugin is causing it. 4 minutes
   should not be corrupted data.

 * So running ‘top’ i have 3 httpd in the list and one runs the cpu up to 96% when
   I load the page.
 * Does that mean anything to anyone?

 * Is it at 96% for the 4 minutes you mentioned? For short periods especially if
   the machine does not have a fast CPU it is alright. PHP is very CPU intensive
   as it is server side and not just sending (HTML)text.
    If you have strace try
   doing: strace -p PID (where the PID is the one found in top)
 * That gives the system calls for the process and you can see if something is causing
   a problem.
