Speeding up Cakephp-based site

Hi, our site is built by using CakePhp framework, the problem is that the response speed is quite slow. Memcached did not help a lot. Is there any way to generate static html files and serve them automatically? are there any other guides for optimizing cakephp?

Thank you for the response Decorum,

The specific section we would like to speed up is this: www.iamexpat.nl/read-and-discuss

If you go to this link and click on any of the news articles, it will take a while for them to load.

Do you believe the plugin from Matt Curry will help in this case or should we go through a full refactoring of existing code/server upgrade?

I think the plugin will help since it seems that there is something on the serverside that is taking a while to process the page.  The plugin will eliminate processing and serve static content.

Still, it doesn't hurt to take a look at the code too. You may not need a full refactoring... like I said, I would start with SQL debugging on and see if there are any horrendous queries slowing you down.  If so, then try tuning the queries first.
Thank you decorum, please send me a message if you are able to have a look at the debug logs on a freelance basis.
