With a new installation of Magento and a single product in the database it takes Magento
~6seconds to serve the page when the cache is clean. The main page was modified to show the ‘Featured’ Category using the following code:
{{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="10" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
Fasterfox & Firebug shows that it takes ~6seconds for the webserver to serve us with a page.
The intent is to understand what’s happening on the server to see where the delays are occurring.
When we refresh the front page, httpd (Apache) utilises up to 60% of USR time
