everything is displayed correctly, but i have some super long load times...as reported by profiler, both for me and for users.

 between 13s-54s ....

and the server is sitting on at least 200MBPS of pipe and has a gigabit card.. so bottleneck is not the server delivery ability,

what i wonder is if because mod_rewrite is "undefined" each page request is being called first through the user, then to mod_rewrite in .htaccess, and after running chain, then una says okay well, that didn't work, but we will serve you the page we have, and then una rewrites all the urls dynamically each time to adjust for this error...

this would be solved by ???  and when solved, page loads should be more instantaneous i would believe..  someone correct me here if i am wrong, or perhaps what to look at inside mod_rewrite areas
