I'm having issues with entering and exiting Edit Mode for pages as well as some other loading of pages while logged in as an admin with the dashboard ribbon displayed.

I thought initially that perhaps there were php or mysql delays and after some scrutinization of those potential issues, I decided to take a closer look at what was happening at the file system level.

It turns out that while these huge delays are occurring (approximately lasting 20-30 seconds), I am seeing that indeed the system is not idle nor stuck on an internal process it would seem. Instead I am seeing insane levels of cache activity. I am seeing 14,000+ entries that are similar to this:

/home/e-smith/files/ibays/share_name/html/files/cache/ OPEN zend_cache---internal-metadatas---3e21ab62fb17400301d9f0156b6c3031abddcb0ed0c54c8e78eb2c8c26ab5562
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/share_name/html/files/cache/ ACCESS zend_cache---internal-metadatas---3e21ab62fb17400301d9f0156b6c3031abddcb0ed0c54c8e78eb2c8c26ab5562
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/share_name/html/files/cache/ CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE zend_cache---internal-metadatas---3e21ab62fb17400301d9f0156b6c3031abddcb0ed0c54c8e78eb2c8c26ab5562
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/share_name/html/files/cache/ OPEN zend_cache---internal-metadatas---3e21ab62fb17400301d9f0156b6c3031acd150a6885f609532931d89844070b1


It would seem that this delay is primarily happening with the most recent update that was just released a few days ago as this was not noticeable previously. The interesting part is that disabling the cache makes the system quite responsive again and therefore it would indeed appear that there is something awry with the caching mechanisms.

I'll attach a file to this that contains the entirety of the event for review. Please do let me know if anyone would like further information!


Thanks,
