I have the same problem for a long time…
I also have a php gallery on my website which runs just as slow as wp. Sometime it is ok, mostly during the night, which takes 1-4 seconds to load. In the afternoon, however, my wp could take up to 40 seconds for the actual page to appear – meaning it’s totally white and blank before the page appear. It loads fast after the page shows up though.
Can someone tell me if it is the same problem with you.
I suspect it’s the server problem. I use globat with the most basic, cheapest plan.
