And we'd get rid of all the icons, avatars, and files attachments!!!

And not EVERYTHING has to be SUPER fast....! Average is ok, too.



Some people do not see the importance and implications of speed. For a single user, there is no problem with waiting another 0.5 seconds to load some icons. They come directly from disk or even better out of the cache, so the server isn't bothered very much.

But serving an average page in 0.02 seconds instead of 0.1 seconds makes a huge difference in a heavy frequented forum. It means you can serve 5 times as many users before your server goes down to its knees. Once you have ever had that problem you will understand. Also in a shared web hosting environment CPU load is a very critical factor.
