Another note here...  Even when I use the Permalink, which brings me to a single repository item, it is very slow.  Is there a specific procedure that is used there that could use some speed enhancements?

Apparently, there is already an index...

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: There is already an index on table 'grmRepositoryComments' named 'IX_grmRepositoryComments'.

Steve,

The move took care of the problem.  The slowness was caused by my previous host and was honestly very frustrating to deal with them as they said it was DNN's fault, and not the servers.  On the new host, the speed is just fine...
