Google wants to speed up the web
Looks like Google feels as I do - speed matters! They're offering a multitude of tips, and asking for more ideas. Personally, I'd like to see wider use of input decompression.
They have their own reasons, of course - to start with, a faster web means faster updates for them (Googlebot is WikiFur's largest single user by a wide margin, making 42,118 hits so far to our non-English projects this month alone).
Edit: Found a way to save a bunch of bytes in the header of every MediaWiki page - which comes to over 10Gb/day for Wikipedia, plus associated cache space. Happy norn is happy. :-)
