Cold cache concerns aside (see the other email I just sent), I now have preliminary performance figures comparing Media Viewer to the status quo (File: page) in production. I'm still working with QA on getting our test merged and running automatically on cloudbees. The results I have were performed on a 2MB DSL connection in France, with nothing else running on the network.

Awesome! It is great to have hard stats about performance. (The request performance maps were great too.)

Is it possible to run this tests at given geographical locations, with Cloudbees or some similar service? It would be really good to know what the overhead is for the wikis which will participate in the first round of the pilot.
