All requests on a D6 (latest) site, from simply viewing a page (cached),
to performing an administrative action, to running a drush command, are
painfully slow.
It took about 12 seconds to load the homepage from a remote location
today; 1-2 seconds is normal for static content, and 3-5 for java
generated dynamic content, for non-drupal areas of this apache2
installation.
I disabled the nodetype module via drush (took about 25 seconds to give me
the confirmation prompt).
It is now taking 5-8 seconds to load each administrative page. The slight
speedup suggests that modules are potentially causing the issue here.
I have attached a module list from drush, but is there anything else i
should be looking at on the drupal side, to provide some kind of speedup?
JS optimization is enabled; CSS optimization is not.
Caching is standard (block caching enabled but may not be being used).
I am currently trying page compression; it was previously disabled.
Thanks for any ideas.
