Web fundamentals – performance

Can we drop EOT formats in font stacks already? IE was the reason for EOT, but all currently supported versions of IE support WOFF.

i've already ditched EOT and the performance improvement is quite significant

I'm a bit surprised. Despite saving a couple of bytes of CSS, where should a performance improvement come from?

EOT are heavy muthafukkas. also, you save a lot by loading WOFF only, what's pretty obvious

Browsers should load only the WOFF file if it is supported though right? Which means if you link to a EOT on a WOFF supporting browser it shouldn't make a difference?
