[mythtv-users] Slow MythWeb

I just underwent an upgrade of my system from 0.26-fixes to 0.27-fixes from the 
git repo. I also upgraded to openSUSE 13.1 and kernel 3.11.4. I had some 
problems, but all is now functional with only one quirk.

When I run MythWeb and select Recorded Programs, it takes ~7 min to complete 
even though I have only 71 recorded programs. From the access log, I see the 
following timeline:

10:48:41 GET mythweb/tx/recorded
10:48:43 GET pixmap
.... more pixmaps
10:48:48 GET pixmap (a total of 8 now transferred)
time gap here
10:50:43 GET pixmap - 4 more are transferred in 1 sec
time gap
10:52:44 GET pixmap
The last logged access is at 10:53:04; however, it is approximately 10:56 before 
the client browser shows the transaction complete. The same behavior is seen for 
Firefox and Konquerer. The program matrix loads quickly, but the pixmaps are 
slow with large time gaps when nothing is happening.

All other inquiries finish in only a few seconds as expected.

Is this a known problem?

I found the configuration parameter in MythWeb to disable the loading of the 
pixmaps. I do not really need them; however, I would like to know if I have some 
other configuration error.

Thanks,

Larry
