The page speed plugin is preety similar to yslow. The plugin generate a lot of ‘out of memory’ using js frameworks. Create also hugh temporary files. Wait ‘n’ see.

Looks interesting. Given that both this and YSlow is open source perhaps the features can be combined as one plugin? Would be nice to see these companies working together.

Also this is incredible – using it I got Imgkk’s load speed (until fully rendered and ready for action) from 2 seconds down to 200ms (both on a primed cache) :D

Most application frameworks are too abstracted for Firebug to be of any real use.

now if only we could get a plugin to make firebug perform decently on very large scale enterprise level RIAs…

@Morgan

Speed is the goal of the *delivered* code.

The code you deliver to the tubez should be based on – not a copy of – the development code.

A very interesting tool, which I will certainly spend some time with in the future.

One knee-jerk reaction though, is the opinions on writing CSS selectors: Let’s try and keep the discussion reasonable and keep our code readable, having code that is hard to read incurs added costs in the development and maintenance of all software projects… speed is not the only criteria for success.

Regarding comparisons and YSlow, then I might just add that YSlow is also Open Source. http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/license.html

Very nice of Richard Rabbat, Bryan McQuade to share this tool with the rest of us :-)

The best thing about this is thats opensource.
