Must have been some maintenance, as I didn’t notice any changes in PHP/MySQL versions since the 7th of March.
Update: it seems as though since that short MySQL outage everything is faster at GoDaddy shared hosting. Did they upgrade database server(s)? I have no idea, but I like the change.

Update 7: I’m now quite satisfied with page generation times. See other updates at the end of the post and comments to find out more.
Note: have a look at other hosting options.
I’m currently using GoDaddy shared hosting plan. I noticed that my blog, as it grows in popularity and visitors, displays a wide range of page-response times. The best I had seen so far was below 3 seconds of page generation time (note: _not_ page loading, but page generation). If it were the average, I would be happy. However, much more frequently observed times are in range of 20-30 seconds per page. Sometimes pages even timeout, as my uptime tracker service is reporting (For February, there were 100 minutes of unresponsive pages, for March - already over 10 hours!!!).
For example, today around 16:00 GMT the following statistics were reported by my blog:
22 queries.
33.416 seconds.
Evidently, this is unacceptably slow.
