Jon,
Turns out the mysql server is lagging and they are going to resolve that
soon.

So, maybe slightly plog lag but mostly my database is slow.

Thanks again for doing some debugging.

 	And, I also see your admin script takes a long time to load.
But, 
I don't think it is plog's fault.

For the non-admin side, you have caching turned off:
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT

You also have some broken links, which probably take some time for your 
server to figure out that the images don't exist, and write to the 
error log file:

Network speed to your machine looks alright, so I suspect the machine is

overloaded.
