BTW, here is where I am testing

http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/

I made lots of improvements today and save 20 seconds for the first initial load of a 56k user.  I don't think I will be able to hit 20 seconds because of the images we display, but after the first visit, your browser will cache those images for reference and it will load even faster.

The forum still 35 seconds which is good news and the first tests were run with a lot more load on the server.

The new frontpage, old blog, is down to 35 seconds to by the use of caching.

a little slower with the many of the banners having animations even though most are compressed and use limited colors
