OK, I think I found my problem. Or at least one of them.
1. I have set the application pool as described but it still seams slow. Very slow (20 - 25 sec) on the 1st load. 8 to 10 sec on each additional. So I have another problem.
2. I checked my even log and found the following errors. It seams the Media module is causing problems even though I am not using it. Any ideas :
