What does help in real life is slim apache2 in front of your TYPO3 
server. Mod_proxy does memory and filesystem caching and with proper 
cache control headers you get *insanely good* performance without 
touching TYPO3 at all.
Unfortunately, cache control headers still don't work flawlessly, but we 
tested this setup with *extremely* pleasing results.

This does also scale horizontally by adding more frontend mod_proxy or 
more TYPO3 servers...

Cheers,
