What is the output of the top command?

 

[Dravu]

Run top and see what's using the most resources. Also, how large is the port for the server (10/100/1000mbps)? You may be running slow due to bandwidth limitations.

You can use mysql tuner for tuning the performance of mysql. Check the following URL for more details.

Whoops. I read the first post wrong. I understood it as pages that were even just HTML went slow. If HTML pages fly, then I agree with jdlitson to look into MySQL problems
