Recent upgrade to Umbraco v.4.11.10. Site seems to perform just fine. However, publishing is a nightmare. It was working fine prior to the upgrade. Now, it takes several minutes for a simple page to publish. I've cleaned up old versions of content, checked for orphan content nodes and reindexed the Examine search collections.
If I republish a folder with say 7 documents, I see Umbraco step through all 7 fairly quickly, however when it gets to the last document, the publish dialog stays open for 3 to 5 minutes, every time.
Figured out the cause. web.config had the wrong SMTP address, the one from dev instead of prod. Corrected it and now all is good. Apparently Umbraco was having fits trying to send the email confirmations and choked on an incorrect SMTP server setting.
Publishing extremely slow

What could be causing this?
Try to delete the umbraco.config file and republish the site in case there is some problem with the XML cache.
I never trust the Examine reindex tool so try to delete \App_Data\TEMP\ClientDependency manually instead and republish.
Nicholas also have a nice guide here to disable Examine to rule out the issue: https://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-7/using-umbraco-7/72898-faster-way-to-publish-a-large-number-of-nodes#comment-233951
As always, keep backups before you do something.
