[wp-testers] Posts still stalling when I hit publish...

[DD32]

The ping services are not exactly the problem that causes the long  
publishing pauses.

The pings are supposed to be sent by the WP Cron system, However, in order  
to kick off the cron, a HTTP request needs to be made to your WP install,  
by WP itself, If for some reason, The HTTP connection blocks (ie. it waits  
for the cron to return the entire document) then you'll be sitting on the  
publishing screen waiting for it to ping all the sites..

The way its supposed to work, Is that the cron will kick off, and that WP  
will discard the connection straight away and finish loading, Meanwhile,  
in the background, the WP Cron request has gone ahead and pinged all the  
sites for you without slowing your page load down (Thats a 'non-blocking'  
request)

So while the pinging shows the problem, Its not the actual cause of the  
problem, Allthough, cleaning out that ping srvices list would be a good  
idea eitherway IMO.. Are they even needed these days?
