Thanks to all who are helping me. He are my responses to the many replies I received:

For example, plugins which do a lot of database reading > without using WordPress' built in database class (as the queries don't > get cached), plugins which use output buffering, plugins which write > to the database during normal pageviews, there are many reasons. Not sure if any of my plugins slow down my blog on their own, so I think it is just the sheer weight of them.

Yep, when I disabled all of my plugins, my blog sped up again - but some plugins I just can't live without.

I could just remove some of my plugins that I can live without, I suppose. John said: > Failing that, try WP-Cache? I have tried WP-Cache, but it didn't seem to work - it wouldn't create any cache files (even though it was enabled). uberdose said: > So you disabled all of your plugins and it wasn't faster? I disabled all of my plugins and my blog speed was a lot faster. Jeremy said: > Activating around 10 plugins causes massive slowdowns for me. :) Ouch, I really need to sort out my 50 plugins then, damn. -- Bull3t http://www.bull3t.me.uk No virus found in this outgoing message.
