I am a DNN content manager using Evoq Basic 9.10. I have been dealing with slow asset uploads since the 9.10 upgrade.

1-2 files will upload at normal speed from the frontend GUI, but any more tend to fail or hang for minutes until finally completing the upload. It will generally take minutes to upload <100kb of assets.

Editing or saving pages is generally as challenging. Every time I navigate to Assets or Pages, this progress bar appears, hangs for several minutes, then loads the content.

The behavior seems like some kind of cache or resource issue. It works fine for a few interactions, stalls, then works a little as if resources were freed or it finished building something server side. There is no network activity in devtools during this hang.

This issue is not really a priority for technical resources to research, so I am trying to do my own. Thanks in advance for any help.

This COULD be an Evoq specific issue, which I will not be able to provide a ton of guidance on, however, do you see any signs or resource exhaustion when this happens. (High CPU or memory usage on the SQL Server of Web Server?)
