Thanks FrankBlack - I've turned on GZip compression and will see if that helps.

The first is the module's actual loading time
The second "XOOPS output" is initiating the output layer (Smarty) AND the blocks.
It seems you have a great amount of blocks that take quite some time to load. Find out which and see if you can cache them.
The blocks that are loading are mainly "system" blocks. Full list below, with module in ( ):
1. Search: No Cache (system)
2. Main Menu: No Cache (system)
3. Custom Block (Auto Format + smilies): No Cache
4. User Menu: No Cache (system)
5. Login: No Cache (system)
6. Site Info: No Cache (system)
7. Recent Topics: No Cache (CBB 3.07)
8. In the Spotlight !: No Cache (SmartSection 2.12 RC1)
9. Recent News: No Cache (News 1.50)
10. New Members: No Cache (system)
11. Recent Comments: No Cache (system)
12. Minical: No Cache (ExtCal 1.58)
13. Recent items List: No Cache (SmartSection 2.12 RC1)
14. Top Posters: No Cache (system)
15. Upcoming event: No Cache (ExtCal 1.58)
16. Who's Online: No Cache (system)
17. Stats Counter: No Cache (iStats 2.2)
Hmmmm.....this is surprising - News 1.50 and SmartSection 2.12 RC1 are set to 30min cache in admin>preferences. do I need to cache individual blocks as well?
Very grateful for the advice guys. Keep 'em coming, though
I think that much of my problem is server-related because at times the site really flies along and other times its like a slug on beta-blockers
