You also have to recognize limits, too. You couldn't make an enormous, plain garbage truck go as fast as an airplane by itself. Even if you had a lot of resources at your disposal (no pun intended), you have to realize that a garbage truck just isn't designed to go fast, especially when it is loaded down with garbage.
People are notorious for loading up their Wordpress sites with plugins. Add this, try that, etc... Each plugin has the potential for REALLY slowing down WP, so if you have 50 plugins, it can be worth it to take the time to review those plugins and remove any that you aren't using (plus it reduces security risk, and also the hassle of upgrading later).

To add to gr8gonzo's point about getting rid of plugins, the P3 plugin (and yes, I recognize the irony) will examine all active plugins and let you know which ones consume the most resources. This can help you decide what to remove or replace.
As far as getting WordPress up to speed, it is possible but usually requires heavy caching and a CDN.

Even though that page looks to be relatively heavy because of all the graphics, it is actually not a big load. I suspect that the server has been optimized and balanced, the content is being sent compressed (the images are not badly degraded, but are also not the highest resolution), and the code is invalid with 40 validation errors that probably contribute to the performance at the risk of reliability and a guarantee that at some point maintenance will be a trip to the depths of hades.

This appears to be ASP.net based, implying a Windows server. It's not a PHP machine.
WordPress is not really made for speed, so you might want to look into an alternative framework. Laravel seems to be getting a lot of traction lately, and if you want to stay in PHP, it might be a good starting point.
