Slowness when loading tickets created via a certain FAX to email service

Running RT4.0.2 with perl5.12.2, Oracle 10g, RHEL5 and httpd-2.2.16. Browser is IE7.

We are using EasyLink’s Fax to E-mail service and the faxes are attached as a PDF to an email which are sent to a queue.

I’m looking at one ticket with 135b of email and 110k of a PDF attachment and the page is taking in excess of 40 seconds to load. It spends most of that time with the menubar, ticket number, the “New Ticket” button and search widget visible, and the rest of the screen is the blue gradient. Most operations on this ticket also take upwards of 40 seconds.

For comparison, a normal ticket takes 2-3 seconds to load and render.

We have other attachments, PDFs too, which are larger, but have no problems.

This is a set of the headers from the “bad” ticket, maybe that’s part of the problem? Everything in the tickets and transactions tables looks identical between regular and slow-loading tickets. I’m using […] for some long digit phrases in the headers below.

You probably want to use MasonX::Profiler (as documented in the
config) and StatementLog + Configuration → Tools → SQL Queries to
determine what is actually slow on the page.
