SuPHP bad performance

[kimbo]

I'm using a joomla website and it seems to have a bad performance.
When accessing the site the first time, it looks like it needs to wakeup and takes 10s to load.
Also browsing the website takes too much time to open a page, up to 5 seconds and sometimes more depending on what the content is.

Can suphp be the cause of this?
I see high cpu usage sometimes when opening a site.

Any way to tweak this performance?

Or maybe change from suphp to fastcgi?

The cpu and memory look fine to me, but in case of Joomla websites if you combine and delete all unecessary css and js files or code, performance will be improved significantly.
You may also use gzip compression and cache (backend options)
