Rob,

I've just run YSlow on your site and a suggestion it comes up with is to 
gzip your content:

"Compression reduces response times by reducing the size of the HTTP 
response. Gzip is the most popular and effective compression method 
currently available and generally reduces the response size by about 
70%. Approximately 90% of today's Internet traffic travels through 
browsers that claim to support gzip."

You've got quite a lot of JS and CSS in there, so gzipping could work 
quite well.

YSlow makes several other suggestions that could be worth looking into:

I've used Heroku for Radiant sites and they employ Varnish, which seems 
to work exceedingly well for keeping things flying:

Some further good stuff on caching, if you're interested:
