thanks to the awesome help of Ricardo Pedroso my performance increased by a
factor of 100 (at least).
Well what were the problems:
first of all my vserver cpu is very slow. (600MHz 1 Core) Which is just
rediculous in those times my mobile phone has a faster processor.
apache-modwsgi-web2py is pretty processor intensive especially if you ad a
mod_pagespeed.
what did we do (decending order of performance increase):
we enabled a lot of caching,
removed code from models to modules
splitted controlers (from over 20 funktions to less than 7 each)
compiled application
used html instead of python helper functions
The last thing we did was switching from apache to nginx: which is just
awesome:
just to show the diffrence I list some of our test results:
after optimization in apache:

webpagetest.org gives now results which are not that good but I suspect
that it depends on their server cpu utilization a lot. and after I tried
some other pages which I knew where good before I come to the conclusion
that this site isn't reliable at all at the moment.
loadimpact.com tells me that the server can handle 100 users at the same
time before the server starts to fail. So a pretty good improvement.
unfurtuanatly I don't have results from before from loadimpact.
I hope it helps some people which are looking for more performance
especially with slow cpus
