Blimey.  I have the same spec (albeit EC2 instance), which is hosting 6 drupal sites, and can serve pages in  under 1s with 50 concurrent users with LOTS of modules.   erm, if i were a betting man, i would question what they are saying, against what you are seeing...

i dont use these guys anymore, but their vps is excellent.  www.bytemark.co.uk

The host is unitedhosting.co.uk which stands out because they do not over-sell the system resources like most shared hosts do (and hence, UH costs more too). I don't know how many users per box. They say that it's variable.

Do you have any specs re your hosting environment?  i'd check fundamentals (cpu, ram, disk, other customers on the same box) before installing more modules.

   only domain.com <http://domain.com> would work."



   This is bad for me because my Drupal site is not top-level.
