[wp-testers] 2.6 Admin running slower than previous versions?

[Kirk M]

Hi all,

Has anyone had a problem with the 2.6 Admin running slower at times than 
previous versions with or without gears enabled. Perhaps slower isn't 
the term I'm looking for here but more like hesitating for several 
seconds before switching to another page like from "Plugins" to 
"Comments" for example. Once you're in a page like "Comments", things 
seem to move right along until your attempt to switch to another section 
of the Admin. Sometimes it's quick enough and sometimes it "hesitates" 
for several seconds.

No error callouts, error logs are clean and I know it's not the server, 
upgrade procedure (strictly "by the book" manual upgrading) or plugin 
related (went the standard rounds with that) and doesn't seem to affect 
the actual site itself, just the Admin. I can't seem to find any reason 
for it and it only appeared to begin with the 2.6 release, not beta's. 
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the same thing.
