Summary: Analyse hard and try other solutions for the biggest problems. I would suggest you first find the bottlenecks of your app. Is it the code, the network, the database, other resource files? If the code, which functions? A PHP profiler + network tab in Firebug/DeveloperTools should get you going.
The best thing about Cake is that it is database-agnostic. Investing your time in database platforms and options could pay off quite nicely. Also, analysis and optimization of your models for fewer joins/reads/writes and more caching might be fruitful. MongoDB offers a great way to store related data in a single document and also load-balance and cluster your database. For a high-traffic, translation-heavy site, it could come in handy. I am currently working on a "hybrid" site, which uses both MySQL and Mongo for different models, searching for best performance. Investigate if Memcache might help you. Also offers load-balancing and allows you to cache the records of your choosing for the fastest possible reads. MySQL does SOME memory caching (to my knowledge), but just bench it and evaluate. If it's your code, try optimizing the code and the PHP setup on your server. If it's your network, find another service provider. Definitely use Containable behavior, if you are still not using it ... As someone already said, app optimization is a fairly complex art form. Most RADs are not built with speed in mind, but with fast deployment.
