His own blog is also very slow. Sometimes you should not reinvent the wheel but optimize it.
I don't know why he needs all the Javascript but when I open his page the whole page kind of rebuilds after 2 seconds.
- stevela 15y agoThe site doesn't use much js itself (other than to wrap the images which sometimes seems to look like a rebuild). I should probably just modify the textile formatter to do that... The bulk of the js is disqus and a code pretty printer. For actual performance it seems to be doing pretty well for me.

- tintin 15y agoYou are doing 20 requests to external Javascripts and 8 requests to external stylesheets according YSlow. "The page has a total of 61 HTTP requests and a total weight of 637.2K bytes with empty cache". When I read about performance issues I just wondered why you are including all this stuff. That's why I prefer optimizations in the first place before reinventing the wheel ;)
