[mythtv-users] Web interface scalability issue: Video Gallery

I haven't looked at the code and I haven't tried the setup, but one
thing that jumped out at me in following this discussion is that 10.01
second timeout in the web timing chart, plus statements like

I'm wondering if this isn't CPU load but some sort of 10 second timeout
somewhere, or maybe two five-second timeouts in opposite directions,
etc.  But I don't know where those might be coming from.  Local DNS/DHCP
resolution?  Obviously this is a total guess, but I'm suspicious.

Is there any possibility you could run wireshark?  You'd have to have
some way of capturing the packet stream, but if you could do it on the
affected host(s), or perhaps if you have a smart switch where you could
clone traffic on one of the ports (or a really dumb hub :), a packet
trace might shed some light.
