One of the first things I
One of the first things I look at when a client asks me "why is my web site so slow" is the admin/build/modules page (actually, the first thing I look at is the client's internet connection). It's very rare that I don't find more than a couple of modules that are enabled for absolutely no reason - sucking down precious server resources.
If better optimization is required, you might install one or two performance modules. For example, if the site is on a shared server, try Boost (static page caching for non-logged in visitors), complemented with Authcache -in CR's file or db mode- or Advanced Cache (for logged in members). If on a VPS or dedicated server, there are several suitable options: Boost (for example on a low RAM VPS), Authcache, Cache Router (which includes APC, Memcache...), Varnish, etc. Memcache and Varnish are also especially suitable when load-balancing multiple servers.
