Clint, I believe this is a fcgi thing. Dreamhost kills it after a perdiod of inactivity, which means that the first request after a few minutes of stillness has to load django & everything else.
Later request should respond better. There are mixed reviews on dreamhost and django on this list, quite a few topics bring this up. It seems to depend a little in which server you are (I am on pound, and haven't had any issues). But at any rate you are not going to achieve *great* performance on django. hope that helps, arthur --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
