Does this only happen on the first couple of requests? If so, it's most likely just the startup costs of the Python interpreter, Django, the database connection, and the operating system loading everything into caches. That is, normal. (I also wouldn't expect to get great performance out of Dreamhost; I've had no end of headaches diagnosing performance issues there.)
