Saving posts takes 1 minute or longer – very slow

    I’ve been having trouble saving posts for the past few weeks. The process takes a very long time – usually between 1 and 2 minutes.

    The same problem occurs even when all plugins are disabled and the site is in maintenance mode.

    Using Firebug/YSlow, the item taking forever to load is “/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=123579”, taking 1 minute and 38 seconds to load. The other page elements, images, JS, etc, each load in a second or less. (All the posts take forever to save or update, not just that particular one.)

    Not sure if this is related, but this particular WP site has thousands of entries and tens of thousands of revisions. Hosting is on Amazon EC2, database with Amazon RDS. (The post ID in the link above is legit.)

    We’re using WP-SuperCache on the frontend, and the front pages load in less than a second generally.

    Any ideas? I haven’t been able to find an answer on the forums. Enabling Google Gears and Turbo doesn’t affect things.

    Have you tried:

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – increasing your available memory?

    Available memory, both in php.ini and in wp-config.php is 128M, which I think ought to be plenty.

    Renaming the plugins folder to something different and creating an empty plugins folder makes the posts pages load extremely quickly. This makes it seem like it’s a plugin of some kind.

    Thanks a lot. If/once I figure out which plugin is giving me problems, I’ll let the forum know.

    Turns out it was some combination of wp-post-views and yet-another-related-entries plugin.

    All fixed now, thanks a lot.
