this just fixed the problem on our 4.2.0 server.. thank you.. It was worse on multi-page threads.
Basically as I understand it.. each time a user does a post, it tries to shoot off an email to every user that has subscribed. If the mail server is unreponsive (ours has been down), it sits there until it eventually times out before returning the user to their post.
It makes sense that longer threads are likely to have more subscribers, and therefore the ones most effected.
We were getting 0-30 second timeouts on some posts. Now is back to 0-1 second.
