What version of WordPress are you on? Did this start happening after you upgraded? Does it seem slow on some occasions, 60s+ and works normally other times? If you answered yes above you can read my previous post below:

I have found, for me at least database connection (timeout) problems after my upgrade to 2.8. I’m not saying that its 2.8 that’s the issue, more likely a plugin I have conflicting with changes in the wp-db.php file in version 2.8 which handles the mysql connections. Everything works like a charm on 2.7.1
for more visibility, you can install WP-TUNER plugin and do a show all. If you see that the “init” process is highlighted as slow or you see any “mysql server has gone away” errors, then let’s talk further.
well ive been using 2.8 from the start– sometimes it loads just fine and others it can take as long as 25 seconds. ill try that plugin and get back to you– thanks!
“start” and “init” are highlighted. what do i do next??

Did you get this issue resolved? I just started having the same problem and found out that when I remove the .htaccess file, everything loads quickly. But my permalinks don’t work. I don’t know anything about the .htaccess file. How could it be causing this problem?
i havent gotten this resolved. where do i find the .htaccess file?
I had the same issue. I think it was a combination of the server install with Fantastico, upgrading in WP admin panel and playing with different plug-ins. Even though I upgraded through wordpress admin my server was still not recognizing it and sending messages to upgrade…even though it was. So I tried upgrading through Fantastico and my problems worsened.
I tried to fix the database, but the problem was deeper than I could fix. The site was built to blow up anyway, so I just reinstalled.
If you guys figure out the issue be nice to know.
Same issue here.
I was using 2.8 and upgraded to 2.9.1 and still have the problem.
The site works fine, it’s just on the back-end where it takes forever to load certain pages.
For instance, I can click ‘add new’ (post) and the next page comes right up. However, if I click ‘plugins’ it takes over 60 seconds to load (I was getting FastCGI error 500 pages, but after bumping up the timeout to something ridiculous it works, just painfully slow)
The only clue I’ve gotten so far is from using WPTuner. For the long loading clicks I get a yellow highlighted, “(marker)admin_init with a (%Time) of 99”.
So admin_init seems to be the culprit, but what is it? I’m going to keep searching, but I thought I’d post this up incase anyone can help.
Thank you!
Hey all, this is what fixed it for me:
Put an .htaccess file in the root directory of your WP install. Open the .htaccess and replace any code in it with this:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
</head>
# BEGIN WordPress
# END WordPress
Let me know if that helped!
