> I come to idea to implement few optimizations Ilya mentioned in his talk:
>
> 1. web page is now streamed to the browser to start sending as soon as
>    possible so that browser can start fetching CSS and JS files listed
>    in page header in parallel. Until now a whole page was first
>    rendered before start sending.
> 2. gzip compression of page HTML and all other text resources like CSS
>    and JavaScript. This reduces the load time substantially, usually
>    about 5 times.
>
> End result is more than twice faster page load time, both time until
> page starts rendering on browser and overall load time. We are now below
> 250ms to the first byte time, which is nowadays a goal to regard your
> site as a fast one. Note that this includes a DNS lookup time
> (50-150ms), connection time (50-100ms) then content download.
>
> Another achievements are 4 A on http://www.webpagetest.org:
>
>         A First Byte Time
>         A Keep-alive Enabled
>         A Compress Transfer
>         A Compress Images
>         F Cache static
>         X Content Delivery Network detected
>
> This F cache static is such because we instruct browsers to cache images
> only 24 hours. For a reason to more easy upgrade web apps without
> needing instruct the users to reload pages. They just wait one day...
>
> X Content Delivery Network, well, I'm not sure we would profit much to
> use it except add another level of complexity ...
>
> Google regards such optimizations in this pageRank algorithm, which is
> one of the reasons to be worthwhile.
>
> All those optimizations will be part of next Aida (and Swazoo) release,
> it will also be soon on production server for http://www.aidaweb.si, so
> that you can try by yourself :)
