After driving my service provider nuts, naturally I determined that it was
an application problem. Wasn¹t an Apache problem at all. There was a curl
request buried in my code that was timing out. The request response is
cached, thus the slow home page every hour. Would have taken two seconds to
debug if I had remote debugging on the production server.
