I have CCP installed with all tables in MySQL.  We have ~24 products in so far in about 10 categories.  It's a pretty small catalog so far.

On both the store side and admin side we have been running in to major loading slowness occurring intermitantly.  It usually clips along famously but when it does lag its major.  20+ seconds.  And it's not usually just one page when this happens.  It will run slow for several minutes.  I often just close out of my browser, do something else for a few and then come back and it seems to work fine.  If this was just admin side it wouldn't be such a problem but it's happening in all areas of the script, unpredictably.

I use a third party webhost.  It's the same host I use to run all of my sites, including a large movable type cgi installation and have never had a hiccup so I'm thinking it's not the server.

I'm not very good with Linux/Apache (if that's even the thing I need to be thinking about for server problems).  Is there a way to test when this happens to see whats going on?  Is there a known issues that I can change to prevent this from happening in the future?

I searched the forums and found one similar issue but it was due to some link to an international currency service... not an issue I am contending with.

Thanks for any ideas
