You have significantly more members and content though.
I have no personal experience of the plugin or anything, I just don't see how much it can help for small forums like this.

Right now I think his current host is fast enough, it's just images that are making the page big. I've compressed them all but I think he could save about 30-80 KB if I trimmed some of them, as I think a couple really don't contribute much to the theme.
Thanks a lot lucasbytegenius. I am really happy with your work. My forum is much optimized now.

Please stop spreading nonsense.
Really, I'd focus on reducing the size and number of images and ensuring all your pages and scripts are going through GZip (enable mod_deflate). That'll net you most of the benefit. The number of requests isn't so bad as there'll be keep-alive connections, and IMO, although further optimisation will improve speed, it probably won't save you that much.
Also, something which may be less controllable could be your host's location / network.
