Hi,

Thanks.  I've read the PDF here is some extra info so if anyone has suffered from this can give his/her opinion:

a) I am already using APC
b) I am using drupal6 so switch to 7 is not an option right now
c) I am seeing the strange performance for a non live site (still under development) So a reverse-proxy probably won't help

My question is how do I identify where it is taking so long?

I just attended CapitalCamp in DC, and one of the sessions was High Performance Drupal: Step by Step.

The slides from the session are available on the page referenced above. The presenter, Fabian Franz from Trellon, made one point early on:

"If you build the house on one pillar, it'll not hold long ..."

Then went on to say the four pillars of high performance for Drupal sites are: 
  • Pressflow / Drupal 7
  • APC
  • MemCache
  • Varnish and Boost

It may not possible to use Pressflow (with an installation profile). In that case he suggested to use the other three. 

The slides have a little more detail though the presentation included much more, and he showed how quickly all four could be added using command line His style is a somewhat unusual (you'll see if you check out the pdf), and the information seemed good. See what you think.
