You can:
Use sprites instead of single images.
Use a PHP accelerator.
Reduce the # of modules you use.
Be sure to cache your css and scripts under performance settings.
Upgrade your server.
You can use xStatistics (I think its called) to track page load times et. al.
If you have a video oriented site with lots of traffic, use CDN (content delivery network).
Applying any of these should help somewhat...
There are many different steps you can take to speed up your server. Do what you can and good luck.
