[ensembl-dev] Ensembl API not responding?

[Stefano Giorgetti]

Hello Simon,

Thanks for flagging this up to us.

It seems the public DB is struggling now: I can sadly confirm "show 
databases" takes well over a minute to return, and "ping_ensembl.pl" 
script (you can find it under "misc_scripts" in the "ensembl" repo) 
takes about the same ... which makes sense as it does sort-of the same.

For the time being to speed up the registry loading, I'd suggest to 
switch verbose off and - if you can - to use the "-species" argument.

Meanwhile, I'll have someone looking into the performance issue.

Thanks for your patience

Stefano on behalf of the Ensembl Team
