I have recently starting having an issue in which the submit entry has begun to take between 10-20 secs to publish.This has happened over the last few weeks and Im no sure whats going on .Looking at it in firebug the post element seems to wait for the period of time before it completes. I recently upgraded to EE2.8.1 but this problem existed before and still happens now the upgrade is complete.
This seems to happen across all channels no matter what fields exist in them .I setup a test channel with a field set with just a text box but the same issue occurred so it doesn't seem to be a issue with an individual plugin.
Thanks for any help
Brian
