I am having a strange problem, and I think I caused it.
I was wanting to play with the snippet content area, so I went to the Global Preferences page, down to the bottom where the snippet preferences are. While there I saw the Comments preferences, and I clicked Auto-Test for the Rated Image (not sure why I clicked it, was curious), after clicking it started testing, but then seemed like the system automatically became super slow. I tried to get out of the system config, but logged out instead. Now, EVERYTHING is super slow. Loading pages, admin interface, anything. It seems that a process is still running, and using all the systems resources. Could I be wrong? I am convinced I just screwed something up…arg!
I will contact support about this, just want to see if it is something I can fix over the weekend.
Double posting to update my progress:
I restarted our server on the chance that it might help, and it seemed like it did. I think things are back to normal now. Everything is snappy, admin interface, pages, everything. Very strange.
Could this be a bug, or am I just loosing my mind?
That depends on whether it happens again. :)
