The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[<address@concealed>]

I'm new to sympa, setting up 5.3.4 on a debian lenny machine.  I've got
apache, fastcgi
and suexec configured and working.  My db is postgres, on a separate
machine.  I've
also set up expl/ and wwsarchive/ dirs on an NFS share.  I've configured
sympa to use
nfs locks.  I've got only one user, me, and two test lists.

The web interface is sluggish, and when I click to administer a list, it
gets crazy slow.
Each page takes about 35 seconds to load.  When I turn on debugging, I watch
it acquire
and release locks, over and over again.  I counted 33 per request.  I also
see it gettext'ing
the same text over and over.  Sometimes a lock fails, wwsympa dies and
fastcgi restarts
it.  This happens every 5-10 requests.

I read over the performance page, and did some profiling.  I can post that
if it'd be
helpful.

Hopefully I should be seeing better performance.  If so, any suggestions for
what I might
be doing wrong?  Anyone using NFS shares out there?

Also, wwsympa.fcgi catches TERM signals, so the fastcgi process manager
can't kill them.
I verified this by sending them TERM by hand.  USR1 works, but TERM does
not.
Is this a known issue?
