[wp-hackers] Incredibly High PHP Creation Times on WP SVN?

[Computer Guru]

I'll be damned!

"This gzipped page was brought to you in 115.8840 seconds over 26 queries."
(it was that long - and it's not gzipped.)

Yet XDebug/WinGrindCache claims that the total for that request was "only" 28,258ms... which is a lot, but not exactly 115 seconds worth of info. But nevermind that.

It seems that 17k ms went to the flock() function in the wp object cache!!!  - and that's just to get a file lock.
Another 500ms went to an external link identification plugin I have installed.

Wp object cache murdered my site every time it attempted to use flock() and stabbed it in the back every time it went to retrieve what turns out to be megabytes of data in the form of cached comments and other data.

Guess I was wrong about wp-cache. Reason I didn't get it - here's my wp-config.php:

define('ENABLE_CACHE', false); //WP in-built object cache

Apparently setting it to false or setting it to true makes no difference. Turns out you have to remove that line altogether!

Looks like we're using is_defined instead of evaluating enable_cache with true/false.

Thanks for the help.
