I expect that the traffic to FRC team websites is pretty modest compared to, say, running a popular tech blog or e-commerce site. I use Dreamhost shared hosting for my other organization (a summer camp) and while I do sometimes wish it would serve out my Wordpress files faster, it's not that slow either.
There have been a few times I have experienced truly dismal performance, I raised a support ticket and they helped -- they're very good about that. Sometimes it was their fault, sometimes it was mine.
