title: What are the best steps to improve magento performance?
body: <p>I have a magento shop (ver 1.2) running under a dedicated LAMP setup.</p>
  
  <p>I have made the following changes to it:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Enabled magento caching</li>
  <li>Enabled APC</li>
  <li>MySQL Query caching</li>
  <li>GZip compression of html,css,js</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The shop is still incredibly slow, around 10 secs and over for rendering the homepage. Is there any obvious things I am missing out.</p>
  
  <p>Please share your tips to improve Magento performance</p>
