No, of course not. The initialization modules should only scan and register content types and register dependencies. Do you have any custom initialization modules? What are in those?
I have three initialization modules. I checked to see how long they took, and they execute rather quickly.
I am investigating where the slowdown is happening.
The source seems to be some caching system that the consultants wrote.
Thanks so much for confirming that this was a problem and not normal operations in Epi. :)
Update on this one. I finally figured out what was going on. It was the custom cached written by the contractors. They made a mistake, and for each content called, it was writing a record in the databsae. That is why it was taking so long.
When I run episerver using a copy of the production database from my laptop it takes betwen 30 to 50 minutes from the point when I click on the run button to the point where I see the page.
This is causing a problem when we develop. On production it is not an issue because the servers have more RAM and CPUs. There it only takes 2 minues to start.
Is this 30 minute lag normal?
Should I develop in a version of the database with most of the data erased?
Thanks in advance
