[23:03:07] <rootd00d>	 I've just moved an existing MediaWiki server to an Azure VM host, and page loads are twice as long as the old site. Looking for pointers to track down the issue! :)
[23:05:53] <rootd00d>	 The VM has twice the number of CPU cores and RAM.  The data disks are 2 striped 1TB drives.  Tuning anything to do with the VM doesn't seem to have any measurable impact.
[23:06:51] <rootd00d>	 The page loads seem to scale across all pages.  Any page on the old site that loads in 1 second now loads in 2 seconds.  If the page loaded in 6 seconds it takes 12 seconds.
