What I've noticed with Django on Dreamhost is that if your site is hit before the fcgi timeout (2 minutes) its quite responsive. If the fcgi process exits, it has to restart, reconnect to the db, etc. and there is a very couple of seconds delay before things get going again. But I just checked out your site and it does seem quites slow on DH, compared to my site - http://surveys.zdecisions.com. Have you opened a support issue?
I recall reading that DreamHost was offering free hosting for all non- profits http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Non-profit_Discount. Not sure if there's something similar at ASO or not.
