Hi all, I have a very strange problem. Most times a first request takes a very long time to complete. Profiling show the costs of the first request is 4,935,395 while other requests (same page, just some clicks later) cost only about 501,303. There's also a difference between response time: about 250ms or more than 3 seconds.
Nothing changed in code, I request the very same page under the same condition. The only difference is the order. The first request is *always* the slowest. Waiting 2 hours, a next request taks 3 seconds. Waiting half an hour, the next request taks 1 seconds (or something). It looks something similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1688261/zend-community-server-very-slow-on-first-request-with-os-x-10-6, but I'm not using Zend Server, but Apache and Php at an Ubuntu system. Are there any thoughts about this? The packages I have installed are APC and Xdebug and no other tools. I have both Xdebug output profiles to compare if you need to. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance, Jurian Sluiman
