Take Firebug / YSlow or something similar to find out what took so long. Possible improvements:

• Google how to speed up osCommerce in general. (cache, etc.).
• , PHP php- (: eAccelerator)

Answer 5

Use a profiler (Firebug has one) and you will see that it takes so long to load.

Answer 6

Corrupted indexes, lack of correct indexes, general poor performance on your hosting.

First step: run optimization in all tables (this can take a lot of time if you are worried about it instead of ANALYZE):

OPTIMIZE TABLE table_name

This eliminates any maintenance problems that may arise.
