Site very Slow - too many connections?

Permalink
Okay I searched and didn't see this problem listed anywhere so I am hoping someone might have some suggestions.

I have a couple different concrete sites - One on a dedicated server IP and a few on a shared server.

The most recent site I put up on a shared server was going soooo slow it was timing out - 30 seconds to load the page was fast.

In talking to the hosts they said there are too many connections remaining open on the server.

On the server I run the command

ps aux

and there are usually 16 to 17 items running. If I restart the server it ramps back up to 16 or 17 pretty quickly. Looking at one of my other sites that is on a shared server there was about 10-12 running - that site runs very well. Overall the code and pics on the site that runs well is heavier than the site that runs poorly.

site that is running poorly is:http://aircarecolorado.com/

I did various searches looking for options to improve
http://andrewembler.com/web/improving-the-performance-of-zend-cache...

Found this option and the site went from unusable to very slow and definitely less worse.

Found this one
http://andrewembler.com/concrete5/5-easy-ways-to-speed-up-a-concret...

the only item that applied was removing the jquery
I did this and the site seemed to speed up - was going very fast at first - but then now is going slower.
- also I don't think this will work to keep it in as I am getting various JS errors from Ukao menu and the randomizer plugin I am using (about 5 JS errors now)

In terms of cache I turned on full page caching in the dashboard hoping that would help.

re: Zend optimizer - running PHP info it says I am using version 2.2.0

In php I set the
memory_limit = 32M
upload_max_filesize = 30M
post_max_size = 30M
log_errors = On
allow_url_fopen = on
max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 120
suhosin.session.cryptua = Off
SecFilterEngine = Off
SecFilterScanPOST = Off
suhosin.request.max_vars = 500
suhosin.post_vars = 500

--------
I am inclined to move the site to another host - but the fact that on another shared server, a couple other sites are functioning fine, says this might be something else.

Suggestions?
