Nope... I didn't fix it. I'm experimenting around with various settings... and I didn't find any query that takes too long... this slow-o-site-theme is really making me mad!

FYI

I solved my problem and as I had supposed it was a theme-specific problem. Using cache I had some improvment but nothing really satisfying so I searched deeper, and trying to validate my xhtml and css I found that some css, imported via @import in another css, were missing: so when the browser asked for these ghost-css, XOOPS replyied with a redirect to the home page.

This explains high loading time and the strange behaviour I described: the page was loaded 3 or 4 times for nothing.

The lesson is: double check any @import and to css because if your file is not present you will load an heavy html for nothing.

Hope this will help someone.
