Your screenshot says that JUpgrade is slow, not Virtuemart  ;)

You can have a problem 1st time to load jQuery from google CDN, and this differe the index.php download.
you can change the setting in vm2 config to don't use google jQuery, if this is always so slow.

I have a load time of 670 ms with original settings on local

You can have same problem with another javascript library, look all loaded files/javascript in your HTML > head.

All waiting javascript stop the load of the main index.php file.

what you can do is add an expires header via htacess for all css, java, and images.

<FilesMatch "\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf)$">
Header set Expires "Thu, 15 Apr 2012 20:00:00 GMT"
</FilesMatch>

THIS forces the browser to cache them

It's hard to say that "VM2" itself it actually SLOW. I have had it installed on various server configurations (localhost XAMPP, GoDaddy, Simple Helix Dreamhost). I was just mentioning the other day how fast the BE is. I think that ONE of the best selling points will be the BE speed alone. Listen, I use GoDaddy which = GO SOMEWHERE ELSE...LOL. VM2 on J1.5.23 or J1.7.x has run very smooth in the area of speed. I have used them all (Tienda, RedShop, etc..). VM2 has pulled ahead of Tienda in BE speed as well as FE speed and features. I have bet the farm that VM2 will shine some day soon and fulfill all of my ecommerce needs in conjunction with Joomla. Joomla has not made it easy on development either. :)

Try using the latest version J as well or use SVN. It doesn't make a difference but using the latest version puts us on the same page.

Happy VMing!

...according to Oloh.net VM2 currently has "54,367 lines of code". Compared to Magneto's "3,401,055 lines of code" I wonder how Magento manages to produce an output from the server the same day  ;D
