Thats a seriously slow parse time.
To reduce the amount of queries, shut off all the boxes and functions you dont need.
Then search for all posts by user "devosc" one of his old ones will reduce that count by a few hundred potentially.
I sounds like your host has limited the number of database queries.
I would suggest a new host as they shouldnt do this.
