I have gone through several threads on the forum which deal with backend or server performance.
However there is plenty of research on the net which show 80% of the perceived performance is related to front end issues.

Have you ever tried firebug (net tab) or yslow and you will understand what I mean. For my sites less that 30% was spent on creating html and remaining 70% on downloading various components. I already have keepalive setting on.

current default themes have so many separate css and javascripts that would cause the page to download slow.

Has anybody tried combining any javascript and css to reduce the external entities?
