Almost all of my I have Silverstripe 3.1 running on a VPS I have tunned to run SS and they are lightning fast (average load time is less than 2 seconds).
I do host a few sites on client's shared hosting solutions and regularly the performance is absolute pants (we are talking load times of over 5 seconds).
I generally find, if you run SilverStripe on a pants budget host, basically, you get what you pay for. Really first, before you worry about SilverStripe's performance, make sure you have a provider with a server in the same country as you and that uses good hardware.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Mo
