First of all, this is not for flame wars. So, please do not bash some blogging platform :P

I have a shared hosting account. I want to setup a blog on it. Now, the thing is that as it is shared hosting, I do not have as much bandwidth as some expensive hosting. I have tried using Wordpress with the caching plugins configured. It still does not seem to speed it much.

Also if I create a simple PHP website, the speed is fine. Can someone suggest me some lightweight platform?

Wordpress has a simple plugin called W3 Total Cache...

It speeds up the database, CSS, javascript and overall loading of the page.

You can also subscribe to some CDN networks and plug that information into W3 Total Cache so that the CDN caches your blog for your users.

I'm using a free hosting server based somewhere in Eastern Europe (yeah, that's the worst thing!) but my blog loads pretty fast due to this plugin (I don't even have the CDN concept setup)...

Here are my suggestions:

Install WordPress on the server.
Read up on securing your site on a shared hosting account the best
you can.
Don't turn to a plug-in to achieve the latest trendy slider or image
gallery. Only add a plug-in or script if it compliments your site. A
flashy plug-in doesn't make up for a crappy website. Content is
still #1 .
If you do install plug-ins make sure to look at the last time it
was updated and the number of downloads and ratings (all available
from the WordPress plug-in repository download section.
Don' just "hack" WordPress to force the features you want. WordPress
is very diverse and can handle about any requirement using the
WordPress API.

WordPress isn't slow, rather the user that doesn't take the time to learn the ins and outs of the WordPress core functions makes it slow by hacking at it and forcing a bowling ball through a water hose.

WordPress can, per se, under some conditions be slow. But if plain PHP work good on the same host, you have to think about DB-backend of WordPress (MySQL) also - host may be fast, only database slow.

Anyway, some not oberbloated Blog-engines, which you can try

DB-backend

Serendipity (s9y)
MaxSite CMS
Dotclear (require PHP 5.3.*)
PivotX

Flat-files backend

Mosquito Blood Mary
Rubma-XML
Simple PHP Blog
