 I'm running a new install of 2.7 (latest trunk) on a server, but the
 backend is running extremely slow. We're talking 5 minutes to load a page,
 any admin page for that matter. I've been trying to debug this, and I've
 noticed all the panes on the dashboard which should load using AJAX remain
 empty. Then I noticed this when doing an svn update:

 {{{
 $ svn up
 A  wp-pass.php
 [...]
 Fetching external item into 'wp-content/plugins/akismet'
 svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/akismet/trunk'
 svn: PROPFIND of '/akismet/trunk': could not connect to server
 (http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org)
 }}}

 This lead me to think that the server can't connect to anything on
 wordpress.org, which would explain the slow admin as well (since I assume
 it tries to check for updates and stuff), and also why the panes on the
 dashboard remained empty. I did a ping  and a traceroute from ssh to
 wordpress.org, both unsuccesful.

 Now, I'm not sure why this server can't connect to wordpress.org, but I
 guess I need to contact the hosting company for that, however, if my
 assumption is right, WordPress (2.7) is not timing out (or at least not
 fast enough) when connecting to wordpress.org fails. If I'm not right, any
 help on debugging this is appreciated. I have 2.7 running just fine
 locally and on another server.
