The times that I’ve seen commenting beign slow it’s been the cause of either or both of these:
- Comment SPAM filtering (eg: Akismet). This happens due to the processing locally and remotely that’s done.
- Email generation. Some hosts and servers take a long time for email messages to be created and sent.
There’s also other reasons outside of these, but these are the most likely culprits.

We’ve noticed that it’s taking 30 seconds sometimes to add a comment or respond to a comment after clicking submit.
Trying to do a search here or on the internet gets me way too many generic topics about comments from the codex and such. So I’ll ask here… would anyone have some answers as to why a comment submission would take so long on a site?
