Mint and mediatemple - around 10 seconds to load...

Hi,

I was moving to mediatemple last week and so was one of my Mints.

The site recives around 20 uniques and 40 totals a day atm, really not that much, but Mint takes 6 to 20 seconds to load.

My second Mint on a different shared-hoster ($7 / Month) takes around one second to load (around 100 uniques and 300 total / day).

Is that a known performance-issue with mediatemple or could I have fucked something up?

Based on the benchmark above the Nametags Pepper is responsible for the majority of the processing time. 0.11 seconds to load the Pepper (vs 0.03 for the next longest Pepper) and 3.95 seconds to display (vs 0.01 for the next longest Pepper). That’s 4.06 of the total 4.42 seconds Mint takes to display. Try disabling (which will still load the Pepper) or uninstalling Nametags and see if things improve.

Indeed!

Thank you Shaun, that did the trick!

hi shaun,

i seem to be having the same issue. if i uninstall the pepper, will i lose all the data? i’ve tried disabling the pepper that doesn’t seem to help. any suggestions? also, i just upgraded this installation and i’m wondering if there is a correlation. it’s my YECC site if you want to take a look. thanks.

i just uninstalled the pepper and it’s working fine again. the only problem is that when i try to restore the data, i have the same issue with the nametags pepper loading slowly. any suggestions?

Wenwon, yes, when you uninstall a Pepper all its data is deleted. It says as much when asking for confirmation.

The benchmark you included is inaccurate (display times of 0.0000 seconds) because you have “Stagger pane loading” enabled. Disable “Stagger pane loading” in your Preferences and check the benchmarks again.

my bad, thanks shaun.

i actually reinstalled the pepper and it’s working correctly. is anyone else having issues with the nametags pepper after upgrading? i’m now having a similar issue on another sintallation.

Dumb question - how do you generate “MINT PROCESSING BENCHMARKS”
