I've installed Drupal (and CiviCRM within Drupal) on shared hosting my group's host assures me is adequate (though they refuse to enable PHP caching like APC on it). It's generally far slower than my installs on other servers or my home Mac. Even the simple, completely default Drupal front page (which just shows one promoted story, the only extra blocks being from the Devel module) loads slowly. Just now it took a minute, and the Devel block reported the following slow queries. Any help solving or at least diagnosing the problem very welcome!
