What's up with the web server?

[Tad Carlucci]

Here is a text from Paris using Internet Explorer 8, connection via a DSL.

The only thing to note is that there are two files which don't exist. This slows rendering because the browser retries. You can see, however, that the real slow-down is the two large images.

The number of files being downloaded also is a big slow-down.

And this is *just* the default home page.

I can't use tools like this to test the Pedigree and Cattery because they require a login cookie which I've not found an online tool which can do that. I use Firefox and note the results by hand.
