DB slowing page loading?

Is it possible to measure if a DB is slowing page loading?

Hi,

Just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction - I manage a job site and we're having problems with slow page loading. This is not a new problem - but something I'm only now looking to address!

The total size is only about 85KB, inclusing images and everything, and there are not too many objects being called (about 39).

The page still takes around 5.5 seconds to load - any idea how I can break this down (i've used standard page test load tools already)

Thanks!

if you suspect the db, test it. disable images etc in your browser, then load it. you can also put a timer in the app, counting the amount of time the actual db-queries take.

I take it you used YSlow already and optimized by the standard recommendations? 39 objects is quite a lot, I think. maybe you can lower that by using sprites?
