Hi Thanks for your input. 

It is always good to receive feedback.   In my case I have the server so it is not a hosting issue in terms that I need to conform (or leave it).

So the more specific question would be starting points to try to narrow this slowdown origin.

I used Godaddy as my host for a while, but they had horribly slow Drupal sites (other sites were fine).  When I switched to BlueHost, all my performance issues vanished.  I hope that helps some.

Subject: [support] Optimizing Drupal6 + finding bottlenecks

Hi,

I have a drupal6 website that is behaving strangely with some occasional slowdowns.

Any tips while trying to identify why it is like that?

I am ruling out hardware problems or even access since other sites (not drupal based) are hosted and does not behave like that.

Under admin/reports/dblog I see lots of messages such as 

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in webform_phone_form_alter() (line 38 of//public_html/drupal/sites/all/modules/webform_phone/webform_phone.module).

or
