Moving Prestashop 1.5.6 website from one hosting account to another from the same company now consumes over 25% of the server resources? - mysql

Question

I had a Prestashop 1.5.6 website working fine in one hosting account. After moving it to another of supposedly the same features, I started to receive warning it consumes over 25% of the server resources. I know the new account has a different mysql version, I dont know if the problem could be related to that.
The warning messages I got from the hosting provider are

Did you try profiling ? There is a great tool inside Prestashop that you can activate by modifying config/defines.inc.php :
define('_PS_DEBUG_PROFILING_', true);
I also would suggest that you take a look at PHP Versions, as it seems like their would be some major change in how scripts are handled for example between 5.2 and 7.1 versions.
