Ok, I compiled nginx from scratch so I could include the with-debug option. What happens is that I click on the submit button and the error.log shows nginx cranking through the same messages, which I will show below. After a minute or so, it finally starts uploading the file. I have copied the last part of the debug messages that show it cranking (and not doing anything) after I clicked on the upload button, and then the log shows the first part of when it finally starts uploading. Does the fact that it keeps showing "accept mutex lock failed" and then finally, when it starts uploading, it shows "accept mutex locked", does this mean anything?

<br><br>Does anyone know what would cause proxying in general to be slow on an OS X server? I know its not the network speed from the browser to the server, because when I was connecting directly to the mongrel instance without proxying, file uploads were fine.
