Hi,

After installation of Drupal 6.1 on a Windows 2003 vm, I noticed very poor performance. The front page comes up pretty quick, but when I click "Administer", I'm in for a 10 second wait.

Software running:
Apache 2.2
PHP 5.2.5
MySQL 5.0.51a

By googling some on PHP+MySQL performance on windows, I found some things about output buffering, which did not apply, since output buffering was on by default with PHP 5.
Second thought was Apache on Windows, so I tried IIS6. No luck either.
Third I was thinking that it could be the virtual machine setup, since this is all running on a portable. So I tried running it on the host, with the same software setup. Didn't work either.
Fourth option could be the database. So I tried running it on PostgreSQL. And, as you might have guessed, it didn't help.

Then I tried running Joomla. It ran perfectly. Weird, so I tried Drupal 5.7, which also runs great. Then Drupal 6, which has about the same performance as 6.1.

Didn't really find anything resembling this issue, so maybe I can get some help in here...

It looks like the "Update status" module was the problem. I'm sitting behind a proxy so the module waits for a timeout...
