 * Since the latest update, I’ve been seeing very long database calls (131 seconds
   or higher) on multiple sites.

 * The query seems to be `SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name 
   = ? LIMIT ?`

 * Hello [@mrjeffpaul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrjeffpaul/),
 * that is strange.
 * Do you have such a behaviour only during plugin upgrade/activation?
    Or that 
   is something that happens all the time at every page load?
 * Do you use any caching plugins?
 * Could you please submit a support request from the plugins page ( /wp-admin/options-
   general.php?page=speechkit )?
    This will provide us some technical details, that
   could help identify this issue faster.

 * Hi [@speechkit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/speechkit/), thanks for the
   response.
    I don’t really have much information except that it was occuring and
   that’s what new relic was showing. This is on customer’s websites.
 * As for caching, it was hosted on Kinsta, so that’d be the Kinsta MU Plugin and
   serverside caching.
