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.

Nah man its not php, or sql. I have seen stores with twice the merchendise having no problems, and I personally run 7 or 8 very busy forums on one of my boxes, with probably a total of 30k members, and 150k posts. I can do a search on one of the larger ones for a common word in less than 2 seconds. I agree that is surely part of it though. But cant be the only reason.
