Lots of good answers there. What happens if you have a timer at the bottom of your blog in footer.php such as;
Code:
<?php echo '<!-- Number of Queries:'; echo (get_num_queries()); echo ' Seconds: '; timer_stop(1); echo '-->'; echo "\n"; ?>
Does anyone know if calls/lookups on plugins affect these numers (time and queries)? If so OP should be able to add this, switch plugins on and off and see how these are affected.
I also think hosting companies bullshit sometimes
