V WordPress 3.4-alpha-19719
My site has been slow- I'm leaning toward my provider, (Ipower) but before I ask them is there anything I could do to make sure it's not WP related.
Ping times 246 and times out periodically. Pings seem very slow to me.

This ought to be in the Alpha/Beta section...
If it's a live production WordPress installation, please consider not using a pre-release version. It makes troubleshooting performance issues more difficult.
Slow pings usually are a network/host issue but try disabling your plugins and switching to the Twenty Eleven theme. This is to get a base line on how your host performs.
If the results are still slow then have your provider check the server.

Thank you-
yes, you're correct this should be in the beta section. I did the normal deactivating plugins and I am using the Twenty-Eleven. I switched themes just to see if that caused it.
I have a trouble ticket in with the host now. I'll see what they find before reposting.

Well Ipower suggested I optimize my database, (Done) and disable plugins, (Done).
Didn't help any- I have reinstated 5 or so plugins. I also installed a cache plugin but that doesn't seem to help either.(DB Cache Reloaded Fix).
Here is Ipowers response.
"Thank you for contacting Support. For security reason we have restricted ping and tracert requests on our server.
There are various reasons why a website or web page loading slowly. The WordPress Plugins are a great way to add special functionality to a website. However, many plugins often increase the size of each page and load unnecessary CSS files and JavaScript. So be sure to deactivate any plugins which are not being used. Also, please optimize your database and images to increase the loading speed.
Additionally, you can consider using a caching plugin such as WP total cache or WP super cache to optimize the website for its performance. Caching can drastically improve the website performance by storing generated pages and serving them instead of creating them on the fly which involves lots of PHP processing and more significantly MySQL database access.

Ended up being my Twenty Eleven theme. Switched to classic WP and running fine.
