Very slow loading-possible problem with .htaccess?

The ISP guys are working on finding out why my WP/Atahualpa site loads so slowly. Oddly, I have WP and Atahualpa in 2 other folders on the same server, and they load quickly. Neither of those has much in their respective databases compared to the one causing trouble.

I looked at the .htaccess files for all three installations. Could this be where the problem is?

For the slow installation, here is the .htaccess file:

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp27/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp27/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

For the other two, fast installations, .htaccess is simply:

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

Could a plugin or widget slow things down?
