title: Django is sooo slow? errno 32 broken pipe? dcramer-django-sentry-? static folder?
body: <p>I've been using Django 1.3 with Python 2.6 on Ubuntu 10.10.  I have 3 questions.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I recall having this problem on Windows 7 when I used Django a while ago.  However, I also remember that when I first used Django this problem didn't occur.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>When I access Django via <code>127.0.0.1:8000</code>, after starting a brand new project, I can reach the site, but sometimes it takes a good 10-20 secs and sometimes more to reach it.  Also, on a project I've barely worked on, I have the same problems and also get errors like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 47758)
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/SocketServer.py", line 283, in _handle_request_noblock

      self.finish_request(request, client_address)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/SocketServer.py", line 322, in finish_request

      self._sock.sendall(buffer(data, write_offset, buffer_size))
  error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
  </code></pre>
  
  <ol start="2">
  <li><p>Also, whenever I get an error I expect <a href="https://github.com/dcramer/django-sentry" rel="noreferrer">dcramer's django-sentry</a> to log the error in the database, but when I go into MySQL and check the tables, there is nothing there.  I followed the instructions on the site to install the app.</p></li>
  <li><p>I placed this in my urls.py file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>url(r'^static/(?P&lt;path&gt;.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': '/home/user/apache2/www/django/ecomstore/static',})
  </code></pre></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>However, when I go to <code>127.0.0.1:8000/static/css.css</code> I can't find the file I placed in the folder.  What did I do wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for all the help!</p>
