If your Tyop3 installation is a bit slow the following tips my help to speed up you site.
- Use a php cache module
- Adjust the caching parameter of you mysql Installation.
For me these setting helps for a performance boost
key_buffer = 32M
table_cache = 128
query_cache_size = 64M
query_cache_type = 1
log-bin
- Try this Typo3 extension: nc_staticfilecache
