Exactly. The hosting didn't start off that slow. When we first purchased the server slice the average page load time was about 1.5 seconds. But as time went on, the hosting company overstocked their servers and load times inflated horribly.

As a MediaTemple customer since January 2007 I can vouch for this. Their hosting service isn't what it was when the Web was courting them during the Web 2.0 hype era. I still pay them to host my blog (on hiatus), but now I use WebFaction for current projects and could not be happier with their hosting or customer service. I strongly recommend them.
