Every now and then I get a really slow response from the app I'm building, and looking at the profiler I could see that it was happening somewhere inside the Fuel::init function, so I stuck a load of extra stuff into that method to measure the execution time at various points throughout. Here's the log output...

Warning - 2013-01-10 17:40:23 --> Fuel\Core\Fuel::init - Execution time after getting the cache_dir : 0.0089578628540039
Warning - 2013-01-10 17:40:33 --> Fuel\Core\Fuel::init - Execution time after getting the cache config setting : 10.016606807709

And here's the relevant bit of code...

static::$cache_dir = \Config::get('cache_dir', APPPATH.'cache/');

        if (static::$profiling || static::$logslow)
        {
            \Profiler::mark(__METHOD__.' Execution time after getting the cache_dir : ' . \Profiler::elapsed());
            if(\Profiler::elapsed() > static::$slowtime){
                logger(\Fuel::L_WARNING, 'Execution time after getting the cache_dir : ' . \Profiler::elapsed(), __METHOD__);
            }
        }

		static::$caching = \Config::get('caching', false);

        if (static::$profiling || static::$logslow)
        {
            \Profiler::mark(__METHOD__.' Execution time after getting the cache config setting ' . \Profiler::elapsed());
            if(\Profiler::elapsed() > static::$slowtime){
                logger(\Fuel::L_WARNING, 'Execution time after getting the cache config setting ' . \Profiler::elapsed(), __METHOD__);
            }
        }

Any ideas why it might take 10 seconds to get the cache setting from config? It doesn't seem to make a difference what this cache setting is.
