Yiiboilerplate Installed An Extremely Slow

I just installed YiiBoilerplate on my shared Dreamhost webhost running PHP 5.3.13 and it seems really slow. These are the steps I followed:

1. Downloaded and unzipped Boilerplate
2. Edited common/config/environments/params-prod.php and console/config/main.php to provide database support
3. ./runpostdeploy prod migrate

When I go to the url backend/www/ in my browser it takes over 30s for the "Welcome to Clevertech Backend Boilerplate" page to load. Any ideas why it is taking so long, or how I can go about debugging this?

Thanks,
James
