One thing I keep hearing is that you can speed things up by stripping extraneous PHP calls out of your theme.

Do you really need a PHP call to insert the name of your blog into the Title of the page? It makes sense from the perspective of distributing the theme to who-knows-who, but you can go in there and replace a lot of that stuff with hard text. Remove 10 or 15 calls to PHP functions and you should see a speed increase (or so i’m told. Haven’t done it myself for reasons specific to my site….)

I use WP-Cache for caching. As for interacting with WordPress itself, I write the content from within the Write Panel while using FireFTP within FireFox to handle all of my image uploads and linking. I don’t do very much to optimize with the exception of only using third party services/sites that I can trust will not slow my site down.

I run the fantastic WP Super Cache plugin. It caches pages as static html files, and really helps loading times.

“make WordPress run faster in the eyes of my readers”:

I find that a light weight theme makes a difference. Not in terms of loading time but in terms of delivering the reader the information he wants in the clearest way possible. (Then again, light weight is a relative notion. To me, it means: little colour, not many images, not much text except for the content the reader is looking for.)

“better workflow systems when writing content”:

I like Andy Staines’ Advanced Admin Menus Plugin by which lets me reach every admin page with one page load only.
