well, basically this was one of the first things I noticed with the switchover
to the new servers. We have since tried in several ways to identify exactly what
is causing this delay. Interestingly, new posts appear on the news server almost
instantly, however the time until a couple of other internal functions (after
the actual news post) take to complete varies greatly. (...)
I hate to be a nuisance, but was this ever resolved?  Posting still seems to
take an inordinately long time.

Hi Dave,

no, you are no nuisance at all - I am still not happy about this effect and can
only confirm again that with pressing the "post" button in the web interface,
the corresponding message is posted almost instantly to the news system but
something else appears to be running in the background and keeps the posting
screen to wait for completion. For me in particular, identifying the cause of
this does mean quite a bit of reverse-engineering, which is why I was not able
to spare enough time for any successful attempt yet (which does not mean I
didn't try several times).

I still think this should be solvable, even though I find that when doing test
posts, the posting times vary greatly which does not exactly help much in
nailing down the issue.

Thanks for replying, Jerry.  As you can see by the three-year gap between posts,
this isn't exactly a high-priority problem for me--more of a curiosity.

But I appreciate you taking the time to respond, and I don't doubt that you've
worked to correct the glitch!


Thanks again.

Dave!
