The Ultimate Windows XP Optimization Tweak Guide
“The Ultimate Windows XP Optimization/Tweak Guide is a comprehensive guide that will give you performance increases all across the board, perfect for a slower machine, and amazing for a fast machine. These XP tweaks will speed up XP dramatically along with improving Windows XP start times, shutdown times, file copying performance, playing games, installing and using programs.” Wow. This thing really is comprehensive. I’m sure that a bunch more stuff could be added but really this is one of the best writeups I’ve seen on Windows XP optimization. Of course the best optimization would be to just uninstall it and install Linux but hey, I’m not there yet.

JavaScript Library Loading Speeds
“When distributing a piece of JavaScript code it’s traditional to think that the smallest (byte-size) code will download and load the fastest. This is not true - and is a fascinating result of this survey. Looking at the speed of loading jQuery in three forms: normal, minified (using Yahoo Min), and packed (using Packer). By order of file size, packed is the smallest, then minifed, then normal. However, the packed version has an overhead: It must be uncompressed, on the client-side, using a JavaScript decompression algorithm. This unpacking has a tangible cost in load time. This means, in the end, that using a minifed version of the code is much faster than the packed one - even though its file size is quite larger.”
