Sorry that things did not improve. There really are no clues available to guess what the problem is. About the only thing at this point would be to instrument the scripts to log the time at various places and see where the time is being spent.

As well there is a possibility that your host has the PHP XDebug profiler available. That can collect execution statistics for the script but may not account for "wait" times, only for processor execution.

Thank-you. Also, I forgot to mention I purchased a dedicated IP yesterday, so I guess it isn't using a shared hosting service either. I'll check for a PHP XDebug profiler. Renee

Just FYI, a dedicated IP does not necessarily imply a dedicated server.

I believe I may have figured out my issue. I have around 10,000 images published. Each with multiple tags. If I delete all the tags from the database my edit pages load almost instantly. So I tried this, then restored the database with the tags and the very slow performance began again. Is there a way to disable the tags for the time I am in the edit mode without deleting them and restoring each time? Thank-you. Renee

Thanks for the detective work on this. At the moment there is not a way to disable the tags from the edit mode. But you can limit the number of images that display on the page, which may help.
