I've been setting up GForum to work with our Oracle databases. Everything works fine except it is slow - whenever GForum needs to talk to the database, pages take awhile to show up.

Just to compare, I re-pointed GForum to a MySQL database (on the same box as one of our Oracle dbs). Zips right along.

Where would I start looking to try to diagnose what the issue is? One of our IS guys says it probably isn't the Oracle dbs directly - they have plenty of unused CPU time.

Thanks for any suggestions!
