Extremely slow > 5000 ms response time with Cake PHP, please help

Hi guys,

Me and my business partner bought a Cake PHP script off the shelf
which is built similar to Fiverr and we want to use it in Europe.
The script was in shambles when we bought it, so after hiring a
developer, customizing it and fixing numerous of bugs over the last 2
months, we are finally ready to launch but the response time is
prohibitive.
It's taking the script more than 5000 ms to load from a blank page,
whereas afterwards it instantly loads (our developer managed to
improve this, but did not find the reason for the slow response time).
We can't really start with this loading time, users click the page
away instantly :-(

We would appreciate any help or hints what the cause might be: please
take a look at the site at www.ejobba.de

I am more the entrepreneur & don't know which configuration settings
to post but can have our developer post in the group as well - if any
information is necessary needed please don't hesitate to ask. The
system runs on a dedicated managed server with Debian 5.0 and ping
response times are excellent - so we don't think it's the server.

Thank you all in advance!
