Thanks, that's a great list. My problem (which I had to explain to Karoly) is that I'm not a sysadmin, so I can't implement (or even really explain) these points.
That's another concern. Most of what Ben listed, while great advice, requires a dedicated server.
How well does Drupal scale (number of users or number of nodes) for cases when you're on a shared host, and so don't have access to opcaches, db replication, etc? How can one squeeze the most performance out of a shared hosting environment? I don't know the answer that that, personally, but if someone does, please point me to the handbook page (or write one if it doesn't exist).
I personally think, if you are concerned about how drupal scales, you probably shouldn't be using a shared hosting account...
