Well, it depends, sometimes rendering takes up 71% of the time,
sometimes just about 40%. The thing is, in the logs I see this a lot:

Completed in 2.24305 (0 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.17941 (7%) | DB:
0.15140 (6%)

I don't get that. Especially not because in the same request, I see
this, among other things:

Rendered shared/_something (0.21424)

Now, the 2.2 seconds is way too long and that luckily doesn't happen
too often. But why doesn't the request summary add up?

It's a big website and I'm not saying it's not optimized, because
that's really where the problem is in this specific situation, but I
also experience high loading times on very small private projects.
I'll go look in the logs there as well.

There have been upgrades, we're on 2.1.1 now.

Thank you.
