pdoMenu - caching issue (13seconds!!)

Hi,

I have a weighty pdoMenu call which is taking over 13 seconds to load when the resource is uncached.
I changed form wayfinder to PDO menu, as I heard it was more performant - but I think I need to work on the call!! I used Xbug ti find the culprit (thanks Mark Hamstra!)

This is what I'm using:

[[pdoMenu? &startId=`29` &outerTpl=`navShopSideOuter` &rowTpl=`navShopSideRow` &innerTpl=`navShopSideInner` &innerRowTpl=`navShopSideInnerRow` &parentRowTpl=`navShopSideParentRow` &level=`4` ]]

Any tips on how to optimise this call?
There are quite a lot of resources called, but shouldn't take this long!

Thanks
Andy

Maybe you can show your chunks as well? Could be something in there as well

Good point! See below:
Just realised that this is still using wayfinder tags though - how is this even working?!

&outerTpl=`navShopSideOuter`

[[+wf.wrapper]]

&rowTpl=`navShopSideRow`:

<li class=" [[+wf.first:notempty=`open`:isempty=``]]">
    <a href="[[+wf.link]]">[[+wf.linktext]]</a><span class="fa fa-plus"></span>
    [[+wf.wrapper]]
</li>

&innerTpl=`navShopSideInner`

<ul class="innermenu">
    [[+wf.wrapper]]
</ul>

&innerRowTpl=`navShopSideInnerRow`

<li>
    <a href="[[+wf.link]]" title="[[+wf.title]]">
        [[+wf.linktext]]
    </a>
    [[+wf.wrapper]]
</li>

&parentRowTpl=`navShopSideParentRow`

<li class="subMenu [[+wf.first:notempty=`open`:isempty=``]]">
    <a href="[[+wf.link]]">[[+wf.linktext]]</a><span class="fa fa-plus"></span>
    [[+wf.wrapper]]
</li>

pdoMenu uses wf. as a default prefix for placeholders used in the template chunks

Ah Ok - so I'm not going crazy!! lol.
Any ideas what is causing the long load times?
