    Use a profiler (Firebug has one), and you’ll see what takes so long to load.

    Take Firebug/YSlow or something similar to find out what takes so long.
    Possible improvements:

    1. Google how to speed up osCommerce in general. (cache, etc.)
    2. If possible speed up you PHP installation by using a php byte code cache (e.g.: eAccelerator)
    3. If possible tweak you web server. For Apache interesting options could be mod_deflate (decreases size of transfered data) and setting the headers for caching CSS/JavaScript via mod_expires (more strict caching for assets)

    If you are only able to do 1. on the site is still to slow, consider to use a more powerful web hosting or a eCommerce solutions that performs better.

    Corrupted indexes, lack of correct indexes, overall slow performance on your hosting.

    First step, run optimize on ALL tables (this might take a long time, if your worried about it use ANALYZE instead):

    OPTIMIZE TABLE table_name

    That would rule out any maintenance issues you might having.

    A dedicated machine, some extra RAM, upgrading hardware is the fastest solution… not the cheapest of course.
