| The initial results are showing that our site is running about 60% faster 
| now. Here is a comparison chart of three main pages of our site and the size 
| before and after. Overall, it's a 25% savings site-wide on performance. If 
| you take into account that we are now showing more pictures on 
| the "City-Catego" page, we think the savings is more like 35-45%.

Comprehensive Linux Terminal Performance Comparison

| Linux has an abundance of excellent terminal applications. Interestingly, I 
| could not find any decent comparison of their text display performance. Since 
| I use the command line a lot, I want text output that is as fast as possible. 
| When you compile a large project, you don’t want the console output to be the 
| limiting factor.
