Just thought I'd share this with you:
I have installed the "YSlow" Firefox extension to find performance
hogs on some of my pages for another project. For fun, I ran it on
[[:en:Bezel]]. Something to think about:
These components are not gzipped:
(0.6K)
http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/shared.css?90
(27.5K)
http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/main.css?90
(5.2K)
http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/commonPrint.css?90
(39.8K)
http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/wikibits.js?90
(4.5K)
http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/ajax.js?90
(4.4K)
http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/ajaxwatch.js?90
These components do not have a far future Expires header:
(no expires)

(no expires)

This page has 9 external JavaScript files.
This page has 7 external StyleSheets.
So, I'll try to sum up:
* css/js should be gzipped
* images should have expiry date
Would that speed up anything? Probably on the first page load only...
