Improving Loading Speed

Although I have upgraded my VPS RAM, I do not see a noticeable increase in loading time and there was only a minor improvement in FeedWordPress performance.

I used two tools to measure the performance of my site.
Page Speed Online - http://pagespeed.googlelabs.com/pagespeed/
WebPageTest - http://www.webpagetest.org/

Using Google Page Speed Online, I have the same score of 85/100 even after increasing my memory whereas WebPageTest show a slight improvement in first view speed from 14.932s to 13.093s.

There has been much discussion on the best caching plugin for WordPress especially on WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache. I have decided to go with W3 Total Cache primarily because uninstallation is simple. If things don't work out, I can easily uninstall for WPSC.
