What kind of server? Shared? Dedicated? VPS?

The single biggest performance boost is to install an opcode cache like APC. Just install APC into your PHP config:

No XenForo configuration is required.

You can go farther and implement a memory cache in the library/config.php file. APC can be used as a memory cache:

But an opcode cache is the big one.

I don't even know how i can install the APC you mentioned.

VPS are faster right?

On a shared server you have no control. Slow and inconsistent performance is normal for a shared server. You need a VPS or dedicated before you have control over your server configuration.

VPS isn't necessarily faster. Some virtual servers suffer from poor performance.
