I'm sorry man, that's worse than a grade "F"... you want to be shooting for 3-5 seconds, with 7 seconds being on the edge of 'miserable'... people just don't have the patience to wait for half a minute, that's just the way things are online.WORD OF ADVICE FOR EVERYONE: If all the little social gimmiks you add to your website, end up slowing it down to the point where people LEAVE your site... what's the point?You can have the coolest website in the world... but it's useless if people don't have the patience to use it... that's where "page caching" and "minify" come in hand.PHP Speedy is excellent btw, it just needs page caching built-in... then it would be a perfect replacement for W3Total, SuperCache, etc!

WORD OF ADVICE FOR EVERYONE:
If all the little social gimmiks you add to your website, end up slowing it down to the point where people LEAVE your site... what's the point?

You can have the coolest website in the world... but it's useless if people don't have the patience to use it... that's where "page caching" and "minify" come in hand.

PHP Speedy is excellent btw, it just needs page caching built-in... then it would be a perfect replacement for W3Total, SuperCache, etc!

One of main differences is that W3 Total Cache doesn't seem to combine JS & CSS files. Minify yes, combine the files to reduce the number of http requests... no.Vladimir, does the latest version of Php Speedy (0.5.2) still conflict conflict with WP Super Cache out of the box? If so, do your instructions above still accurately describe the fix? Thank you. Gary, I don't think so. One of main differences is that W3 Total Cache doesn't seem to combine JS & CSS files.

Vladimir, does the latest version of Php Speedy (0.5.2) still conflict conflict with WP Super Cache out of the box? If so, do your instructions above still accurately describe the fix? Thank you.

I am not using WP Super Cache, and now can't see the point in it anymore as my site is blazing fast. I am using though hyper cache and aa apache crazy cache which work right out of the box.

I didn't know what PHP Speedy was, so I looked it up.The concept reminds me of the words of the wise man, Don Knuth: "We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil."Seriously, if this sort of thing is causing a measurable improvement, then you have some other major bottleneck causing your main problems that you should be addressing first.
