I had the same problem when I was running on a box with somewhat limited resources and it did appear that it was the iplog_history that was slowing it down.
I decided that I did not need the extended history in the GUI, but wanted to keep it somewhere. I created a script that takes any entries from the iplog_history over 8 days old and move them to a new table with the same structure named iplog_archive The task was a bit slow, so I added an index on iplog_history.start_time. The final line of the script is to optimize iplog_history. This job runs every morning at 4AM. Since the putting this in place, the GUI interface when looking at users and their devices is sooooo much faster. I know I lose some ability to find instant history, but I still have it on the system if I really need to find it. To gain easy access to the DB, I have an older version of phpMyAdmin (4.2.2 because newer version are not compatible with the CentOS Source Distribution of MySQL) -- Gregory A.

Just to note, I also see this issue. If as a result of Jake's question there comes some routine maintenance that should be done on the database, please let me know. I already run the built in maintenance script, but I notice that I have several fragmented tables in the sql tuner results, I'm not sure whether this is also having an adverse effect.

Could this be causing the issue? Quite possibly. I am saying this without checking but it seems like a likely culprit. Can you turn on slow query logging on your database? That should tell us more.
