Submitting is very slow

[buythatfromus]

I have a new 9.9 install setup on shared hosting with only a couple beta users and less than 10 stories. When a user submits a new story it takes @62 seconds to finish.

OK, so it's shared hosting. I got a Linode VPS just to do a little extra testing where I have total control of the server and it's processes and I can monitor CPU load for my server.

Submit time: 62 seconds. CPU load was nil, it never budged.

I'm going to take a wild guess and assume some of that could be a timeout issue. It takes 60 seconds to timeout and 2 seconds to actually do the work. What could be missing on my server that would cause this timeout?

Maybe I missed some required library?

VPS is Centos 5.2 w/PHP5, mySQL5, php-gd and php-mysql packages installed. There is no firewall and SELinux is disabled.

That did it! 62 seconds down to 2 seconds!
