Ok. Thanks all for the additional feedback. Guess I'll need to start the process of setting up a dedicated server. Closing topic again since I'm aware issues still exist and I'm working on it.
I realize its locked as well, but I wanted to add;
It may be a good idea to ask your hosting provider about different dedicated server packages... since you probably dont need a mega server like a lot of dedicated users use, you just need something that's not overloaded.
I would think they would offer different levels of computing power for dedicated servers.
Also, as a temporary solution to just reduce load times, you might consider doing maintenance on attachments, since attachments are part of a permissions group which has to be queried first, and even disabling attachments.

"Network Timeout"
My last two posts before this had connection issues as well.
Edit: When I posted this post, I also had issues with network timeouts.
