MySql Configuration

Our website is currently experiencing a database bottleneck and we are wondering if its our configuration, we have the configuration posted below, we are not experienced in this matter, we tried to copy the configuration as best as possible from our previous website but it was a newer version of mysql, also the mysql workbench is throwing an error saying that...

"Configuration file did not contain section [mysqld], so a new one was added.  If that is not correct, please fix the sesction name in the Server Instance Editor and reopen the administrator."

this is causing an issue since we cant edit our configuration in the MySql Workbench.
