Is there a way to speed up Jira? Having to wait more then 5 seconds is just to looooong!

JIRA speed, like all web apps, primarily depends on three things, server responsiveness, network bandwidth, and network latency. Because of the nature of Jira's very chatty interface, network latency has a much larger impact than with many apps.
Here's an example: Using Firefox and Firebug, I just timed the HTTP requests to pull up one issue in our system. You can see the attached graph below.
The total elapsed time was 2.02 seconds; Reasonable.
However, It took 41 http requests to serve that single page.
My longest single http response took 290ms, and there were only 3 of those requests that took more than 30 ms. Luckily for me, I have a fast pipe and very low (less than 1 ms ping time) to our JIRA server.
If I had 10ms latency, but still have big bandwidth and server, I estimate it would have added up to half a second. That can get ugly pretty fast if you start having latencies above 100ms.
I recommend you get used to slow response time if you have high ping times to your JIRA server (ask the people in my company who live outside the US about that. 
)
