Support has just informed me that the weekly backup is running on the main server and that is what is causing the problem, I was promised several months ago that backups would be performed over night.
This is not the cause of the problems, as they happen at any time during the week. Obviously when a back up is running it will slow the server.

The site will be quicker on a new node as the hardware is new which will surely give a good performance than the old node. All our backups are done on Saturday & Sunday & the backups are done at night time. None of the backups run on weekdays.
