A couple of things could be happening.
- Lots of tables with images in them. The browser has to wait for the entire page with all the images before it can display the page. Break up the tables and it will load faster.
I think you may be on to something. Loading a subpage without a lot of tables proceeds without any delay. That would suggest that the delay isn't a DNS problem.
- Need more RAM. I was running Zope 1.6.1 on RH with 16MB of RAM and it ran, but really slow. Same sort of thing, would be slow to start up and serve the files. 32 is really not enough. That combined with your tables is going to slow the site down. On my same box (166 Pent) I added 128MB and now it screams. Ram is the key.
I'll look around and see if I can scam a few more SIMMs somewhere. We're obviously doing this site on the cheap given our choice of server hardware. Thanks for the suggestions. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.
