Noticed when investigating why a Selenium test failed[1]. Scenario: Using message group selector to choose a project to translate Given I am logged in When I change my interface language away from English And I go to the main page And I click the message group selector tile And I click a message group Then I should see a list of messages in the the translation view Error message: timed out after 10 seconds, Element was not visible in 10 seconds (Watir::Wait::TimeoutError) (...) features/signed_in_and_approved_users.feature:58:in `And I click a message group' 1: https://wmf.ci.cloudbees.com/view/tw/job/TwnMainPage-sandbox.translatewiki.net-linux-firefox/330/testReport/(root)/View%20for%20approved%20users/Using_message_group_selector_to_choose_a_project_to_translate/
Change 121376 had a related patch set uploaded by Hashar: Loading message group takes more than 10 seconds https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/121376
Change 121376 merged by jenkins-bot: Loading message group takes more than 10 seconds https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/121376
The test is updated, so it should raise the chance of green results, but can we optimize the group selector somehow? I experience this slowness as a translator, too.
Do we know if this is still the case? I wonder if there has been some general slowdown on sandbox.translatewiki.net and whether it is still going on. Compare with bug 63931.

Do you have an example queries? I also think we had reporting on API module timings somewhere.
