i have a form that when submitted, works out a total, saves the input information to a mysql database, emails a copy and then displays the quote to the user.

this can sometimes take a good 10 seconds to do when it's the first time done. if i go back edit the quote and click submit then it can be instant.

i suspect the slow down is coming from mysql, only because it's at this point that the database connection is first opened, and then from then on it's been opened once i guess the second time isn't so slow, but this is just a gut feeling.

any suggestions as to how you'd go about finding out what is slow?
