Wordpress start up difficulties

Hey guys,

I migrated both of my meme/joke blogs to a fresh DO centos 6x64 box. Well, almost everything is doing a great job, except the performance.

I set it up via option 22 and made the major configs for super cache, auto optimizer but I am not really satisfied with the load time. Imho it takes too long

yep, same results. How can I check, if memcache is running properly and how can I configurate it? Via a plugin?

And how can I decrease the size of my blog? Any hints?
