I wouldn't quite place the blame on OSCommerce for being slow, it's just an inherent problem with PHP. With php, each time a request is made the pages need to be interpreted/parsed and converted to machine code. Now, when you have a project with as much code as OSCommerce, that's a pretty intensive process that has to be done each a page is simply loaded. Add in the fact that MySQL didn't support stored procedures until recently, that's a lot of unnecessary queries that add even more to the request time.
