I had forgotten to post a review of Speed Up Your Site because I ended up in the hospital about the same time it was published. It's a must-have for every designer and webmaster's library. There isn't anything out there like it and it's important because our attention spans are short thanks to information overload. 

I agree enthusiastically. Imagine if all the blog hosting services doubled the speed at which blog pages load. What might this do to readership? To adoption and abandonment rates? To cost of operation? Support costs? Satisfaction? Word of mouth?

Speed is a reason many corporate career sites suck. The company may be zippy but the jobs@ site makes you look like slothful, sluggish, lazy beasts. Hey, it's your reputation. Buy a dozen of King's book and leave them as brazen hints on your CIO's desk. More people find jobs and complete applications accurately when pages load fast.

Speed rocks.
