My New Site

[Matt]

See the problem in that thinking is servers are no different than cell phones. They both have a limit to how much they can process.

Sure, for 90% of the sites out there, its definately not an issue of the code is a junk show. However, for those handfulls that turn into overnight success stories optimized code is extremely important not only for quick layout changes but also for dishing out more web pages per machine.

Look at google for example. My thinking on them is they went as light weight as possible so they could serve the most pages possible per unit whereas something like Yahoo probably proceesses about 1/4 maybe 1/2 the pages per unit as google. (who knows?)

I don't know the figures but I can tell you google's site is easier to change layout and that can cram a lot more requests on their machines than yahoo!
