JETPack and SEO Ultimate are particularly troublesome. Otherwise, use p3 plugin profile as the other user mentioned to find the problem. But yes, where possible, always hard code your functionality, keeping to <10 plugins.

I don't know how much those particular plug ins slow down your website but, in general, the more plug ins you have, the slower your website will be. Some plug ins have a bigger effect than others.
