Recently a colleague and I took a PHP+MySQL page that was taking 1-2 minutes to load and were able to drop it down to 30 seconds after our first round of revisions. After a second round of revisions, we got it under 15 seconds, then after another round we got it to the 1-5 second range. Most of the optimizations were in the PHP not in the SQL.
