My question is basically this: why to do these PHP-based CMS systems take so long to load and log in?
Most of the time these delays are related to the connection between your server and its DB server. Some share host companies really load their db servers with too many sites.
As Herko said, caching data may help, but generally the delay happens when php is trying to get the connection, not during the page processing by itself, so not always.
Best solution is to find a better host.

I've installed some Access-based ASP front ends and they always load in a snap. I can't believe that Access and ASP are inherently better.... in fact, I have heard the opposite
Hehehe.
1) I've worked a lot using the asp/ms platform, and it
is a good one.
2) Access is faster. But an access DB is a file stored somewhere on your server, and you're the only one to aceess it, so we're not talking about the same thing.
This system will
never support more than 20 simultaneous connections (even if the MS documentation says 255
)

My next question is this: should I get dedicated server
I think finding a hosting company with good shared plans would be enough, but I'm sorry I can't personally help you here, maybe someone will.
