With a cold cache, the frontpage of PA generates 87 HTTP Requests --- roughly 1.02MB of data.
That's a lot!
Here a couple of simple tips to dramatically improve performance:
1) Move JavaScripts in the head of the page right before the closing body tag. This will dramatically improve the performance of the page in all browsers and not effect the experience.
2) Sprite images. The frontpage contains ~ 67 images. That's a lot. Most of these could be combined into a single sprite.
Even with just #1, readers will see a world of improvement.
Thanks!

I used to have penny arcade as my home page but now its just too annoying.
Maybe they could make up a low-bandwidth version for people with less beefy specifications.
Running on a 3ghz quad core with an ADSL2 connection.
Running latest firefox.
I highly doubt any of that counts as "low-bandwidth"
