 * Thought I’d pop back and share how I resolved this issue as it may help someone
   else.
 * I came across this plugin P3 (Plugin Performance Profile). The P3 plugin will
   scan your installation and measure each plugin’s impact on your site’s overall
   performance time. It creates easy-to-read charts and profiles to help you narrow
   down the issue.
 * This showed me the biggest cause of the slowdown was a twitter plugin.
 * Then by going through the results I removed some other offenders and made the
   40% faster in less than 20 minutes
 * Worth a try

 * Vayola – thank you for the suggestion and I ran the test and am pleased to say
   it is not a Malware issue.
 * Christine – I have gone through the plugins deactivating with no notable difference
   in speed.
 * A possibility may be my theme which I will test by selecting the Twenty Ten theme
   to see if the site is quicker.
 * One thing I was wondering is maybe its purely a server issue and that I should
   consider upgrading my hosting to VPS?
 * The site has over a 1000 posts and is on shared hosting. I have always assumed
   that would be fine for now.
