Most optimum Joomla 3 settings for Virtuemart

[Niko]

Hello All.

I run two Joomla 3 sites with Virtuemart (all latest stable versions), and I was wondering if someone has tips in terms of the Joomla Settings, and VM settings with regards to running a store at its optimum capacity?

Settings like cache, what type of cache, what time limit on cache? Things like that?

Any tips to boost the performance would be great!

Thank you in advanced!

Personally I use no Joomla caching on any of my sites or  3rd party extensions
by default VM caches cat views

I do use some root scripts that I developed to minify the js & css and htaccess to set expiry headers etc

I guess the test is in the eating...  these examples are on a std. shared server with 265MB
