I'm getting response times of 4-5 seconds, which I think is a lot. This is mainly static content you got there, it's the easiest scenario for aggressive content caching. Just throw in a good Memcached server and serve the whole page from cache. Add some good expiration headers + etags and the website will fly. Unless you have problems with request queueing, which would be a completely different topic.
