The site seems to be down or otherwise unavailable to me, but I'd
venture that a cache object at the top level with a timeout of 1
minute or so could speed up your site a lot.

Try adding a RAM Cache manager to your site and associate things that
may be slower - python methods, database queries, whatever, to that
cache.  I'm not sure how robust the cache is - it probably only works
for simple memoization, but that should work for a lot of cases.

It seems like if you have forms and things that have shorter cacheable
lifetimes, you can set up a few different caches - like one for things
that'll live for 10 minutes, one for things that live for 2 minutes,
and one for things with a 10 second lifespan.  Or whatever paramaters
get you a 10/second hit rate :)
