ok, for extreme speed[1] and still have the benefits of Wordpress, you can move 
the main index page and create a cron every five minutes to wget the real 
wordpress page and save it as a static index page.  Comments, posts, etc, will 
take up to five minutes to show up, but an incredible number of page views can 
happen to that static file in the same cpu as a few hits to the php file (aka, 
tens of thousands per second versus tens per second).

Of course, you may not need that level of performance.

[1] 'extreme speed' as in not have a server fall over when slashdot or digg 
lists your page.
