I have searched for similar issues, but it looks like most Timeout problems are related to large file uploads.  I have one site that looks fine, but has one particularly painful problem - I can't edit any module's settings.  After editing the site for a couple of weeks, module settings, for any module, doesn't return, but results in a http request timeout (like a stored procedure is never returning).  The event log contains this error:

I thought about asking IXWebhosting to check the database server performance, but I don't have this problem on other sites that use the same server.  Any help would be appreciated....it sure is hard to do any editing without going into module settings.....

there seems to be an issue with file synchronization. Please go to File Manager in Admin menu and perform a recursive file sync (use button and checkbox in upper right corner) and retry module settings afterwards.
