With an empty cache, for me, hacker news loads in ~700ms.

Under the same conditions, the dlang site loads in ~200ms.

That's half a second faster, which is definitely noticeable when clicking around.

Thanks for the numbers. A difference of 500ms would definitely be noticeable, especially if its in ones daily workflow
