So I can't tell if bluehost.com has some really outdated hardware, or am I really causing them server performance issues. Basically they said if I cause them problems one more time they're permanently suspending my account. I've apparently running a lot of slow SQL queries.

A little information about my site

I also have quite a bit of plugins as well.

Server average load times used to be 2-4 seconds, but after I forced guests to register to view thread contents, it's currently 1.3 seconds.

I've looked at the sql_sloq_queries log in my hosting and I see dozens of daily entries. Most of them say the "slow" script ran for an average of 3-4 seconds.

Here's a couple of examples of slow queries.

Basically do you think I've outgrown shared hosting, or do I just need to make my scripts more efficient and optimize them?
