A followup: I unchecked Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.) ” on the Options/Discussion page and it is blazingly fast now.
I’m having the same problem with slow posts. I have a dedicated server, 3ghz P4 with 768meg ram. Only thing going on is WordPress and MySQL. It’s not theme related because I tried several different themes. This is unacceptable ??
