[Zope] slow access

how come after half a day of testing the website suddenly slows down? and sometimes the server just slows down on its access. we have a link to a mysql database. i notice that if i visit a root folder that doesn't have a database connection it is fast. is that it? how do i make it consistent in its speed? thanks.
