Well, everyone knows that any site outside of the top 10 is just a hobbyist site that no one reads. Scoff! Thankfully, I don't need to discuss with you whether or not I need XCache. More thankfully, I didn't see your poor advice before trying XCache for myself. It makes a dramatic difference in time till first byte on pages that aren't yet in the static cache (and all pages for users who are logged in). How dare I try to improve performance for the puny couple million people who visit my site each year, even though Ken Shaw doesn't think they deserve it? Anyway, I find myself asking why in the world I'm still wrestling this pig when I don't enjoy being muddy, and I realized that there really is no good reason. So, I'll leave you to it and let you have the last word about how bad I am at technology, Linux, updating my LinkedIn profile, using apt-get, etc. Cheers.
