Relatively slow page load in my profile page

Question

It takes an average of 4.5 seconds to load a profile page in our site.
We've turned on developer dashboard and we narrowed down what was causing this.
We have around 7 calls that look like this: ExecuteWcfOperation:http://Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles/GetUserData 267.98ms

I know it's very vague, but what would be possible causes as to why it would take this long?
In our Dev environment, it only takes an average of 11ms and a max of around 70ms.

If it helps, here's the landscape of this environment:
- 2 web front ends
- 2 app servers
- 1 DB server

Answer 1

There is no proper answer for this question rather you just make sure that all performance tuning things performed.

I would do / check couple of things.

• Make sure SQL server memory usage is fine
• auto-growth rate for Profile DBs and MySie DBs should be MSFT best recomendation i.e 256MB
• Check Antivirus
• App Pool of MySite & also User Profile Service
• Perform IIS reset on all servers in farm
• Stop and start User Profile services
• Dis associate Profile services proxy to Mysite and re associate it.

Answer 3

Have you ruled out the network? I see this very often with bad Network Load Balancing. Use a HOSTS file to pin the IP Address of one server and test again.
