Thanks for the replies. I have solved the problem.
There are two reasons for the lag. one is the pingback feature, the other is the update service feature. I disabled the pingback feature under individual post, while it still takes a long time to publish. That because I don’t disable the update service feature in option. When I disable both feature, the lag problem fixed.
Anyway, we can not get feature and speed at the same time. Your guys should have your own choice.

my enviroment is windows 2000 prefessional with sp4, php 4.3.9, mysql 4.0.21

I just found another thread that looks like same to my problem. https://www.ads-software.com/support/2/14338
and some additions: after the installation, my first login redirect my to this url
https://localhost/wp-login.php?redirect_to=, and result in an empty page.
I am just test wordpress on my local machine. And I am doing new installation, not a upgrade.

the database error info is like this:
Database error: [Table ‘wordpress4.wp_options’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options
And these two lines repeated many time and at the button of the page was the right words and the link to next step. like this https://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php?step=1
In step 3, it ask me the address of my installation, I enter https://localhost/wordpress/. I don’t know what’s this for really.

some addtionals: I have installed version 1.2 of wordpress, it runs fine. Although during the installation I got the database error message too. When I install version 1.2, I use the db name of wordpress. Then I created another db named wordpress2 for my version 1.2.1 installation. I changed my IIS virtual directory to new folder where version 1.2.1 is in. Then I start the installation and got the wrong result as I described in the original post.
So I actually have two questions:
1) Is the database error info common? Because the installation process can cotinue and my version 1.2 runs fine.
2) What’s likely the cause of the error of css path that TG has mentioned?

I have checked this, it is exactly like this.

@import url( <?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-layout.css );


I am using the latest version 1.2.1
