It loads almost immediately here (5 seconds).

No, it's hosted at a company. It's a commercial dsl connection (I  
don't know by heart what the bandwidth is).

In general, not really. It does run out of memory sometimes (we're not  
sure of the cause; both mantis and mysql have been pointed at as  
potential culprits), but right now it has a load of 0.14 and 4.8GB  
free memory (out of 8GB, with 1.8GB used as cache).
