  • 0

I issue a simple GET request to my server, and it’s coming back after ~1.2 seconds on average (using firebug NET tab, the “waiting for reqponse” part- not even the whole reponse time)

My ping to the server is 0.250

Using Passenger with rails 2.3.3, in the rails log the request is taking ~0.023

My server is on GoDaddy, so I checked their homepage with firebug also- the “waiting for reqponse” time for their page is ~0.320

Worst case should be around 0.4… so where did I lose the other 0.8 seconds?

What else can I check?

Edit:

Seems like it’s unrelated to rails-
An image request (that only apache responds to, doest hit the rails at all) takes ~1.2 seconds also

    Try setting PassengerPoolIdleTime to 0 in your Servers or VHosts configuration.
    Maybe your server is shutting down the application instances to fast and spawns a new instance with every request which usualy takes quite long.

    Take a look at the documentation for more information on this setting:
