If you have full control of your server then you should try those 2:

1- Install eaccelerator
2- Install a second Apache server doing some proxy cache using TYPO3 
hability to cache headers.

Article about eaccelerator effect:

Settings for Eaccelerator:

TYPO3 Cache Header:

My own performance test with EA + Cache Header went from 40 
request/seconds to 400 requests/seconds.

The only thing I wanna add is that I didn't test the whole solution in 
the wild...


Here's the proxy conf. I use on my Windows machine with Apache 2.2.x 
last May:

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
     ProxyRequests On
     ProxyVia On
     <Proxy *>
         Order deny,allow
         #Deny from all
         Allow from all
     </Proxy>

#   The redirection
     ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:80/
     ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:80/
</IfModule>
