 * I’m using a theme (Xone) that I like and would prefer to not change… However,
   the wp-admin dashboard is _unusably_ slow… it started out at around 5 second 
   load latency and now is around 45 seconds! Unfortunately, though it is a theme
   I paid for, the developer has flat out said “sorry, I can’t reproduce it and 
   so I don’t know what to tell you” without giving any tips on troubleshooting.
   I’m reasonably savvy with html/php and MySQL, but I don’t know where to begin
   troubleshooting this:
    - It is dependent on the theme (goes back to normal when I switch to another
      theme), and happens even if I deactivate all of the plugins.
    - It only happens in the dashboard (the front-facing site loads reasonably quickly…
      under a second or two)
    - Interestingly, this only happens on my production server (I’m using my work/
      university server as it is a work-related site). On my local version of the
      site, the admin is reasonably snappy (< seconds to load)
 * Does anyone have advice on things I could look for in the theme files or server
   config? or debugging procedures i could follow to begin troubleshooting this 
   on my own?
 * thanks

 * I would suggest reviewing these couple of Posts and the Codex for debugging. 
   Hope this helps to resolve your issues.

    those were helpful links… I ended up tracking it to a bad http 
   request trying to update the revolution slider plugin (bundled with the theme)…
