By the looks, your tag cloud is causing quite a ridiculous delay- remove it:

Apparently, whatever customizations you added to your additional .css file is causing major issues as well:

It appears to be your vb skin that is the issue, switch back to default and run the same webspeed test to see if you have the same issues- the load time is fixed:

Tweak your theme and clean it up.
