David,

I'll try Yslow out - of course I have Firebug - although I generally prefer the Web Developer tools

[LATER] You didn't mention that gzip is one of the methods YSlow suggests - NOW I understand why you posted it to this thread!

BTW I could not install Yslow from the Yahoo site some script bugged down in Firefox - but on the Firefox Addons site it was fine

But the post was specific to the technique of gzipping text files with .htaccess, something I never considered before, and compatiblility with Drupal (yes I know TWF is Drupal)

I was reading on a site

You can get a lot of information on the performance of any site by using Yahoo's Yslow Firefox addon. You'll need to install Firebug first (linked to on the same page). Run the analysis, then use the links on the results for instructions on how to speed up the response.

TWF performs well-- Yslow gives it a grade of "B".
