I prefer not to use GoDaddy because I always encounter performance issues. However, one of my clients is rather insistent on using them… so we are.
I’ve tested this with a vanilla WordPress 3.0+ install with no active plugins, but it always seems to happen for me: Whenever a new page/post is called by the browser, we encounter 3-10 second “waiting” times.
I don’t have this problem on any non-godaddy wordpress installs (they nearly always get their pages in queue in under 2 seconds). But all my Godaddy installs exhibit this behavior.
Is anyone familiar with this issue?

It’s really simply GoDaddy and slow mysql and webservers. I’ve heard apocryphal stories of people making lots of noise to GoDaddy support and as a result, speeds improve. Do they get moved to better servers or get priority load-balancing? Impossible to say.
One other thing to try is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/use-google-libraries/ but sometimes it doesn’t help much with an overall slow shared hosting system.
