Super Slow Checkout

[batteryman]

I am trying to figure out what is causing my checkout to be extremely slow. It started about 2 months ago. Nothing has change that I am aware of. Server is the same, configuration is the same etc.. I use NewRelic and its showing that my checkout is about 22 - 28s per page load. I am using a one page checkout but I have been using it for years. I have turned off all mods and checkout it still about the same.

I have also turned of emails as suggested in one post by DrByte and no change in processing.

In my NewRelic reporting its showing that during the processing the time is most spent on zen_session_start. See below:

16,800ms

72.07%

Application code (in zen_session_start)

Everything is processing like normal. How do I start to narrow down what all the time is being spent on in the zen_session_start process? MySql execution time is less than 1s. Any help is greatly appreciated

are you sure that email is turned off? in my experience, problems with sending of email is what causes the slow checkout.

ensure that you have send emails to false. not just send out order confirmations.... just a thought.
