Understood. I'm familiar with how Super cache functions but it's good to
have this pointed out. I'm also on Bluehost and so are two others out of
the few folks that have been mentioning this problem to me. I thought it
was a server related also since some of the upgrades that Bluehost has
accomplished to it's servers lately has knocked the Community MySql
server offline a couple of times on more than one server (easily
remedied with a quick phone call), but the differences in server setups,
hosts and using standard troubleshooting techniques (and the fact that
my local, plugin free install appeared to show the same thing) finally
led me back to WordPress 2.6 but that's where it dead ends. Puzzling to
say the least.

I just want to point out that WP Super Cache only affects the
front-end of your site and has nothing to do with the speed of the
back-end.
Since WP Super Cache stores static files and serves those, it stands
to reason that your front-end page loads will be fast as long as you
have a decent connection. If you turn off your site caching and then
look at the front-end of your site, you will get a better feel for how
quickly your site truly responds.
I would guess that most of the admin page slowdown problems that
people are experiencing are due to a problem with the host, not a
problem with WordPress. In my own personal experience, DreamHost is
not a great host. I would love to say that they have great performance
and stability since I like their pricing and packages, but the
performance just isn't there.
So, for all of you that think the admin side is slow, turn off your
caching, look at your front page, and see if the slow response times
are due to back-end-only issues or if they are site wide.
