I tried disabling all the blocks... the colprit seems to be the NEWS block.
Ok, I disabled every block I had on my site... one at a time... the loading time stayed the same, long.
I got down to only what was set in the "settings" as the "Start page". Mine is set to "News". With only that setting and no blocks my load times are 6-8 seconds. I changed the "Start page" to something else and my load times went to under .5 seconds.
What do you think?

Something is wrong but not easy to answer you if you don't give us other info's.
Have you removed all script like urchin etc ?
It is a fresh installation, upgrade or what ?
Are you sure all files aren't broken ?
Do you have read your error logs ?
Do you have tried to install a new copy of MD, example in a subdirectory, with a fresh database, then if all work nice you can try to transfer your db.
do you have verified your database and your tables ?

I removed the google urchin - no change
It is a fresh install on a fresh server... about 2 months old
Not sure what you mean by broken. How can I tell if a file is broken
Error logs report nothing.
My database tables are fine except for this
Problems with indexes of table `md_phpbb_attachments`
More than one INDEX key was created for column `attach_id`
Problems with indexes of table `md_phpbb_sessions`
PRIMARY and INDEX keys should not both be set for column `session_id`
These should have nothing to do with this issue... but I may be wrong.
I have not tried a new install in a sub directory. I'm using 1.0.76. Would I install 1.0.76 or this new MD Lite? What is the difference?
I even tried different themes - no change

Yes try a new install in a sub directory, and yes maybe with MDLite so you can check it

I installed mdlite.... I can't log in or create a new user account with firefox or IE.
I appreciate your help but this is not really where I wanted to go. I really want to fix what I am using now. Then upgrade. I have a lot of data in this system and I need to get the most out of it.
Do you have any other ideas as to what might be causing this slowness?

Have you actually ran a repair + optimize on your database from phpmyadmin? If it's only a problem when certain topics are displayed that would indicate to me that you've got a problem in your database relating to that topic. MySQL could well be having problems with the query that's being run, which would explain the slowdown
Judging by your site you've got a hell of a lot of news stories, and the news module is one of the most inefficent modules in regard to SQL queries (search my posts for some examples of this)
