I'm also happy to see more attention being paid to what is in my personal experience a large number of "heavy" .net applications on the web.

Sure, optimizing by hand works, but for out-of-the-box products like Invision Power Board I'd rather spend time moderating my forum than hacking away at them to make them faster. Google Analytics showed a 40% (yes, forty percent) increase of page views of our main site and has reduced the data transfer on our forums by just over half. Whatever it's doing is working for us and we eagerly await the final version after the beta testing is complete.

Talking it over with the team this week we don't believe the investment is warranted. With some minor optimisation (albeit manual) combined with the faster browsers out there, we think this will suffice for our needs - and likely many others too. Thanks, Ed.

You can email me ed.robinson@aptimize.net - sometimes we need to help with configuration. Most people are amazed with the performance improvement which is where we can help you get to. You're right Apache RPO is overdue. Keep an eye on our blog www.getrpo.com/blog we'll be announcing it in the next couple of days. Ed Hi Angus,

Results were OK, but weren't enough for me to pull together a business case. Have been waiting months for the Apache release (see comment "due in several weeks" from Oct last year), so delay is not inspiring confidence. Would suggest looking elsewhere.
