also check your plugins.  Some of them start to get bogged down as the history 
of your site gets longer.  I remember dealing with one a few years ago (don't 
remember the name) that would parse the entire log history for every hit.  Just 
Terrible.

And Wordpress itself is not a bad thing, as long as you get on the security 
announce mailing list and keep updated the same day they release fixes.  Same 
as any opensouce software, keep it updated and you will rarely have security 
problems.
