I've had to deal with sites performing poorly on shared hosting  
arrangements, until I finally gave up on them and moved all but a  
handful to virtual and dedicated hosting. But I have never had admin  
pages take a minute to load, unless the server was already under a  
high load or having some serious problems.

I suggested running a table repair as a rule-out kind of thing b/c  
corrupt tables can slow down performance and prevent some (or all)  
pages from loading at all. It's just one idea, perhaps not helpful.  
Maybe mere table optimization would help. Even timing out at 30  
seconds seems excessive, unless the hosting environment is way  
underpowered or overburdened.

Since Liza reports this is happening on 4.5 and  4.6, though, it does  
seems strange that only the menus admin page is affected on both sites.
