I know this is years late, but the answer is applicable for so many situations.With today's dynamically generated webpages, performance concerns are more complicated than one is lead to believe.With thousands of 'quick-fix' solutions, such as CDN's and Minification being presented as performance enhancements it's not a surprise another aspect is so neglected. SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, the amount of resources required to generate any given webpage. When all web content was static, the biggest slowdown was the transmissions speed. Couple this all with 56K modems, and reducing bits was essential. While it's still a great idea, it's usually not the reason any given dynamic site is slow. Bad coding practices, and even worse dynamic language interpreters, create the common system-side slowdowns.By adding more processing to your server-side, if you were already sluggish due to load, you've just exaggerated the problem.
