Most of the time on my first visit of the day to this forum, it takes an ungodly delay before it finally loads the forum page, see attached. What
gives?

I have not experienced this phenomenon. Maybe it's a function of the time of day you get up? Maybe you first log on when it's most popular.
Not that that makes a lot of sense if every query but the first is reasonably fast.
We were offline for a while today because one of the forum tables crashed and needed to be repaired, BTW. Hooray for mysql: high performance is always
better than high reliability.

Glad you patched that back up, was worried for a moment 
Yeah only seems to be the first of the day, or first after a couple hours perhaps. I'm mostly checking it at 3pm or later central time, which is
usually around rush hour, but this has happened a lot in the morning as well. Afterwards the pages load very quickly (for instance this page was
processed in 0.07 seconds). I didn't look but, at this visit (after perhaps three hours of inactivity), the index loaded in maybe two or three
seconds. After a half day of sleep and classes between visits, 10 to 30 seconds sounds somewhat proportional.
