You don't say what the problem is, but if it's performance, look at:

1. Host database config
2. PHP config - memory use
3. Add an opcode cacher - APC seems to work best on php-fpm
4. Nginx config - compression, expiry headers, fpm resources.

TBH I feel that WP caching options are for those without the ability to
to the job properly - ie cannot tune their servers.

....but it all sounds ok to me TBH. I run pure nginx servers on KVM VPSes
with 128MB - and they only use half of that.

hth,

Steve
