I think your static, static blog generator is a cool idea and I nice gimmick. It lets you pause for a second and really think about how the responsibilities of serving a site and rendering its pages should be distributed. But you can't really think that rendering a page with javascript is faster than serving a static html page with all the possible optimizations like gzip, etag and byte-range, etc. Even though a gzipped markdown file might be a tiny bit smaller than the same content as a gzipped HTML file, so the bandwith difference is negligible, the browser will have the HTML file at once, whereas with jr it still needs to compile the markdown file into HTML and finally render it.
