 * Hi everyone. I know this may be a server thing but… it seems posting a comment(
   i.e after you hit the “say it” button) It takes along time for the post to go
   through/refresh the page with comment.
 * Any suggestions on what could be causeing the delay?

 * This just happened to my site as well, most notably after the immense downtime
   we experienced yesterday. It probably is a server thing, but nothing else takes
   nearly that long. That, coupled with slow posting of entries, is really annoying
   me. It’s weird how it’s all of a sudden too…

 * I’ve been battling with this for a very long time, and tried a variety of things.
   Even turning off pings and comments on my test site. Still long processing times.
   Even the occassional time out, and then everything will run speedy and then slow
   down again.
 * I think it has to do more with the speed of your host, host activity, and Internet
   activity slowing things down than anything WordPress is doing. But the bigger
   the posts, the longer the waits.
 * I’m sure I whined enough a month ago that the developers are still buzzing around
   the ears with it, and with 1.5 things are faster.

 * I’m having the same problem with slow posts. I have a dedicated server, 3ghz 
   P4 with 768meg ram. Only thing going on is WordPress and MySQL. It’s not theme
   related because I tried several different themes. This is unacceptable 🙁

 * A followup: I unchecked Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article(
   slows down posting.) ” on the Options/Discussion page and it is blazingly fast
   now.
 * Joy, Joy, Joy 🙂

 * For those of you having this problem I’d like you to tell me what server platform
   you’re running. Is MySQL on Windows or is it a Linux/Unix/FreeBSD/Darwin server?
 * I have a friend who is currently running a Windows 2000 server with current Service
   Packs and MySQL 5. I’m running a Linux server with MySQL 5. He has slow responses
   back on comments. I do not.
 * Fess up… Whatchoorunnin’?
