PHP Session Trouble

Our site suddenly started crawling (really slow) and I've isolated the problem to the session_start() call which sometimes takes 30 minutes to return?

Has anyone any ideas why this could be/encountered similar difficulties? The site works fine on other hosts but it needs to work on the server we've paid for PHP Session Trouble

PHP is version 4.2.3 running on Apache 1.39 on Linux. PHP was compiled with enable-trans-sid option.

The session configuration is:

session.auto_start: Off Off
session.cache_expire: 180 180
session.cache_limiter: nocache nocache
session.cookie_domain: no value no value
session.cookie_lifetime: 0 0
session.cookie_path: / /
session.cookie_secure: Off Off
session.entropy_file: no value no value
session.entropy_length: 0 0
session.gc_maxlifetime: 1440 1440
session.gc_probability: 1 1
session.name: PHPSESSID PHPSESSID
session.referer_check: no value no value
session.save_handler: files files
session.save_path: /tmp /tmp
session.serialize_handler: php php
session.use_cookies: On On
session.use_trans_sid: 1 1


Any ideas?

Thanks in anticipation.
