I had to check several times I hadn't accidentally hit zoom a few times.

Sounds useful, but how many visitors do you need to have for this to be worth doing?

The number of visitors you have is irrelevant.

If you have any visitors you are doing them a huge disservice if you do not have SSL session caching.

You would use external SSL caching like this if you have more than one SSL termination point (typically a webserver like nginx/Apache) behind a load-balancer.
