More RAM :)

Seriously though, if you can tweak the mysql settings in my.cnf and give it as much RAM as you can spare Koha will run faster. MySQL does all the heavy lifting.

Another way, would be to use DB connection caching, often the slowest thing is opening and closing connections to the DB. Mod_perl helpfully does this for you, but there are other ways to do it. It would probably mean hacking at C4::Context though, as thats where the DBI stuff is handled for Koha.

yes mod_perl is caching connections.. it shaves like 8 sec off the time to get to the next page. i've got 96mb ram on the slower server and
