Lately Wordpress has slowed down greatly. It was taking well over 100 seconds to load pages. I tried a bunch of different solutions: disabling plugins, using a stripped down theme, converting the database tables to InnoDB. Nothing seemed to help. Then I noticed something. The wp_postmeta table had ballooned to over 52,000 records. I was able to figure out it was Ultimate Tag Warrior that had caused this. I enabled UTW and used the "Tidy Tags" feature and wp_postmeta went down to 28 entries. Now pages are loading in a fraction of a second. Needless to say I will not be using UTW anymore. I need to find a more efficient plugin to tag my posts.
I also want to say thanks to creators of my new theme , 281 , it is very fast and clean.
