Updating an issue in redmine takes 10 seconds

Hi,

I'm running redmine 1.3.2 in a virtual Windows Server 2008 R2. Updating or creating an issue takes a long time. Here is a snippet from our logs:

Processing IssuesController#create (for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx at 2012-04-25 19:39:13) [POST]

Completed in 10483ms (DB: 0) | 302 Found [http://mysite.com/project/projects/test/issues]

I've looked in the database.yml file and see that reconnect is set to true:

production:
  adapter: mysql
  database: bitnami_redmine
  host: localhost
  username: ''
  password: ''
  port: 3306
  reconnect: true
  encoding: utf8

So that can't be it.

Anybody ideas?

Thanks!
