From the site:

“It is widely accepted that fast-loading pages improve the user experience. In recent years, many sites have started using AJAX techniques to reduce latency. Rather than round-trip through the server retrieving a completely new page with every click, often the browser can either alter the layout of the page instantly or fetch a small amount of HTML, XML, or javascript from the server and alter the existing page. In either case, this significantly decreases the amount of time between a user click and the browser finishing rendering the new content.”

This is some of the best information about how to speed up your site, and make it easier for everyone, regardless of their connection to be able to view your site in a timely manner.  Some of the great tips include using AJAX, and creating image subdomains on your server so that you can utilize the browser’s ability to multithread the downloading of your page.  If you have a ton of images on your page, and you use this technique you can almost double or triple the load time of your page.
