I would suggest going from biggest impact to smallest impact. Start with 
WP-Cache, get down to multiplier tweaks like a PHP accelerator and minor 
server stuff (query_cache), and end with front-end optimization, with a 
link to resources like:

http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/

It's probably also worth watching and linking to Barry's presentation 
from WordCamp:

http://barry.wordpress.com/2007/07/22/high-performance-wordpress/

Finally, Lightpress is a separate project which is mostly-not-compatible 
with WordPress, I don't think it should be suggested as an optimization 
technique.
