Try accessing /threadDump in another browser tab while it's saving, and search for '/configSubmit' -- it'll give you an idea why it takes so long.
I was experiencing a similar issue a few days ago. Are you using Job Config History plugin, maybe Copy Artifact plugin as well? There's a bug in Copy Artifact's current release that was fixed in https://github.com/jenkinsci/copyartifact-plugin/commit/f149daaaf26d83c4126f13b41e4965997ed3c45a which caused all projects to be saved whenever one was renamed. Job Config History's implementation of 'Do not save duplicate history' is rather inefficient, as it checks every existing history entry of the item you're saving. If your instance has a few thousand history entries for the global config.xml, that'll cause saving that to take quite long. And if you rename jobs, with Copy Artifact causing all jobs to be saved... well... If it's indeed the save listener in Job Config History, consider one or more of the following: - Limit history to fewer entries than you have now (check the folders on disk for the number of saved states) - Update Copy Artifact to a snapshot with the linked fix - Disable 'Do not save duplicate history' On 23.07.2013, at 14:22, Steffen Breitbach <steffen.breitb...@1und1.de> wrote: > Hi everyone! > > We're running 1.509.2 LTS inside a Tomcat 6.0.36 with Java 7u25-b15 > (altough we also had this problem with 1.509.1 and 7u09) on a Linux > machine. > > Operations that change jobs like changing the configuration or renaming > take ages to finish.
