The stats script at desilva.biz translates each unique (user) IP address to a host name at least once a day, for reporting purposes, and since all my sites use this particular script, it affected them all equally bad. At least I learnt something new out of this unfortunate incident!

That was the one that was giving me the most trouble. I finally got around to allowing scripts (via NoScript plugin for FireFox) again at desilva.biz. Whatever you guys did seems to have done the trick. I am no longer seeing any noticeable slowdown. Because of the slowdown I had disabled scripts from desilva.biz.
