And something else that really improves loading of pages with several parts 
(lots of images, etc) is to run nscd

/etc/init.d/nscd start

This is name caching daemon of the system itself, also _very_ helpful if one 
does user management and authentifaction through LDAP, since this avoids most 
of the LDAP calls.
