Benchmark: loading base classes slow

[eluser]manelis[/eluser]
Hello,

I have been helping optimize a website that was not created by me, and is using code igniter. Having relatively high first byte times, searching a bit on the web found about the code igniter benchmark, from which I get the following values:


Loading Time: Base Classes 0.2034
Controller Execution Time ( Web / Index ) 0.3622
Total Execution Time 0.5657

The controller time has already been greatly reduced, from near 2 seconds do this, that is still a bit high, but the page is quite heavy on content (and has 6/7 views in it). However, the base classes loading seems to high, comparing to the few examples I can find about it on the internet.

Are these 200ms normal? If not, does anyone know how to reduce it?

Thanks for the help.
