so, the database returned the answer in .017 seconds, but then it took about 20 to process the answer and display it.
sounds like a machine with a ton of RAM but slow someplace else. CPU slow(ish)? drives slow(ish)?
To be honest, I've never looked at the way Rick wrote this cache stuff to see if the board needs to complete a cache creation/update operation before the page loads. If it does, and your discs are slow, that might do it.
Maybe the query that was run returned quickly, but returned a huge array of data and the CPU was too slow to operate on it faster than 20 seconds?
Either could be true. Rick would have a better idea how to look, and which to update next.
