I've seen the same problem. I wonder whether it is the Midgard memory  
corruption bug or MidCOM cache slowness at play here.

We could try running the site in uncached mode to find this out.

Thanks! I'll go through it and try to find stuff to lift :-)

Anyway, would be great to see this kind of community documentation  
work happening in the
official wiki instead.

Sorry about that, you should have new passwd in your mail now.

The problem is that now we're in a wiki, which inherently doesn't  
have a tree structure. Maybe
something like categorization there could help, but I'll have to  
think about this.
