[chef] status slow on webui

[Otto Behrens < >]

Hi,

I wonder if someone can point us in the right direction, please. We
are running chef server with webui with 25 nodes. We can browse the
nodes, roles, clients and users with reasonable response times.
Cookbooks take a little longer but status takes 190-200 seconds.
Here's some extracts from the log:

merb : chef-server-webui : worker (port 4040) ~ Params:
{"format"=>nil, "action"=>"index", "controller"=>"nodes"}
merb : chef-server-webui : worker (port 4040) ~
{:before_filters_time=>0.038996, :action_time=>0.256378,
:dispatch_time=>0.256793, :after_filters_time=>1.5e-05}

merb : chef-server-webui : worker (port 4040) ~ Params:
{"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"status"}
merb : chef-server-webui : worker (port 4040) ~
{:before_filters_time=>0.038847, :action_time=>90.80266,
:dispatch_time=>90.80309, :after_filters_time=>1.4e-05}

Where do we start looking? We could see the node status quite
efficiently a few days ago, but today we get this.

Thanks
Otto
