About minimizing css and javascript files: I use a combination of RokGzip and JBetolo plugins to drastically improve the load time one of my larger Joomla sites (which is on a VPS server).  It's also good to check page speed on at least two different browsers before and after optimaztion. It's not uncommon to see different results between Firefox's YSlow and Chrome's Page Speed. I tend to lean toward the latter for accurate testing & optimization. Good reading!

Joomla is random IO heavy. If you have a host that lacks speed on the disks it wont matter what you do with your CSS or images.
