In reply to: Moved WP site to IIS 7.5 and now it's slowI just wanted to circle back up on this issue. Ultimately, it turned out to be a database error with my host. They actually fixed it lightening fast, but it took me a while to look into my own config to ensure it wasn’t my issue. Here are some links that have been helpful while moving our site:

I hope this helps the next person with a similar issue.

In reply to: How to verify connection strings/ minimize outbound callsThanks for the quick response. Also, sorry about the link. I didn’t realize it was going to make an actual link out of it when I posted. I was just using “mydomain” as an example.
It just looks to me like each image, script, and theme file is going out to the Internet to be resolved by DNS rather than simply going to /wordpress/wp-content/themes/camelion. Our DNS is hosted with godaddy and our site is hosted at gearhost. Where can I change the connection strings for those objects?
