Description of problem: For products with large component lists the create bug page loads slowly. There seems to be 2 causes of this. 1: The components are cached in enter_bug.cgi. 2: The components are cached in template/en/default/bug/create/create.html.tmpl when rendering bug and attachment flags. #1 can be removed, it is unnecessary as the components are fetched using ajax on the form. #2 requires reviewing Bugzilla::Product::flag_types, this method caches all the component specific flags. It looks like this might not be required for entering bugs, so it might be possible to add a parameter to this method to bypass component caching. Alternatively it might simply be possible to disable the component caching code, this would require confirmation.
As there is no progress regarding this matter, i assume you did not find a solution ( caching would be one ).
This change is now live. If there are any issues, do not reopen this bug. Instead, you should create a new bug and reference this bug.
