Ok, thanks. Yes, I suspected some kind of startup/page swap thing was going on. It seems to happen more frequently now than in the past. It lowers the quality of the service by having such slow response times happening frequently. For example, the load time for a page with 17 separate objects (such as images, javascript files etc) can take 6 seconds of which 5 seconds is just for the server to respond! That's a severe performance bottleneck imo.
