 * The first task “Optimize database tables” hangs. We let it run for a few hours
   and the icon never stopped spinning. When refreshing the page, it looks like 
   the task didn’t even run. Tried restarting it a couple times, and running it 
   on a dev and production site.
 * The other tasks complete successfully. Why would the Optimize Database tables
   function hang?

 * Hi,
 * Apologies for the delay.
 * The most likely cause is that the process is being timed out by the server.
 * Please could you ask your hosts/server admin to check the PHP error logs? There
   should be a record of the timeouts.
