It does load very slowly. The ping is slow as well.. It takes me 200ms for response.
I am in Europe though and the server is in Lansing, MI, USA isn't it? So in my case it can be because of the low international bandwith. Ask US guys to test the site.

in terms of actual code id be looking for any for / foreach loops slowing it down, are you doing any large dataset pulls? etc

Seems to be loading fairly normally for me, given all the images. Not what I'd call balzing fast, but not noticably slower than comparable sites. Whole thine was up in a couple of seconds.

Same here. It loaded completely in about 2 seconds, average given the images. I don't think the PHP is the problem. I did notice the images loading progressively, however, which is unusual. I'd check to see how much bandwidth you're allowed during a period of time.

See if you can integrate all those external JS scripts into one file, and then minify it. If you cut out the extra 13 or so requests for external JS, clients can get the images faster which will make your site seem to load faster.

You should consider looking up the Firefox YSlow extension - it's what I used to spot that one at least...

Also, the main banner is like 30 images. Thats 30 calls that could be condensed into 1 which would have sped up the load time for me when I checked it

I'll add some more:
- Concatenate and minify your css files as well
- Optimize your flash movie, 8mb is not fit for web use. Alternatively, change it to a streaming format
- You have 5 duplicate scripts and 8 not-found scripts (404). Remove them all
- Optimize your images size and quantity
