I know a way you can get those department page render times even lower (especially if they contain products). There's a few bottlenecks in X-Cart's core I discovered (especially with Special Offers enabled since we have up to 1200 defined at any given time). Ours render in less than 0.7 seconds on the new version of our site we're launching in a few weeks. Same goes with the product pages.
