    You can always use a cache plugin. I like W3 Total Cache (recomended by WP developers).

    Speaking from my own experience with dozens of themes tested on my blog (see signature) DIY theme Thesis worked the best. Top performance all the time.

    Agree with you... using a cache plugin improves the speed. I use WP super cache.

    Thesis theme is the best theme to load a website too much faster. Moreover, thesis is as much customizable that you can't imagine. Try to purchase this one.

    Swift Claims to Be the Fastest Loading Theme but you can use a caching plugin like Wp Supercache or Php Speedy.Also compress your CSS this will speed up your Blog

    To my knowledge, the wordpress default theme would have highest load speed.

    WP default does load fastest only because theres almost nothing to load compared to other themes which have a lot more going on. If you are familiar with editting CSS and HTML you might be able to remove some stuff you don't use and get away with it to increase speeds
