Hmm, the item page in prod is slower than it is in dev? In dev, most items are satisfied by the preloading in ItemPagePreview, but in prod, those same items need to send a separate OutfitItemsAppearance query _way_ after (which, I think just due to queueing, waits for all the items to wait too).
There's an obvious issue in the case of all the Maraquan items lately, because we just don't do the clever cache lookups for non-standard colors at all. But I don't understand why even standard items like the 17th Birthday Party Hat are struggling!
These are just some simple debug statements, hopefully they'll tell us something about the basics of what's happening!
