Maybe it is.
We are looking at using the memcached API in our code, and I'm sure we will get a speedup there. But before we start down that route, I wanted to make sure we weren't doing any silly on the raw site. I think my next step is to use the profiler and find out why the site is so CPU intensive. Thanks for all the help.
