My friend Josh ended up having an extra ticket to last night’s Pearl Jam concert at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. Sonic Youth (I’m not a big fan) opened with a bunch of noise, but once Pearl Jam got on stage things really got going. Eddie Vedder was forgot the words to the first song. Oops. Kept things going though with awesome guitar and drum solos during Even Flow and got the whole house going with Alive. It was one of the best shows I’ve seen. If you ever have the chance to go see them play, do it.

July 17, 2006Big Wins
July 11, 2006On Friday I checked in a fix for cairo builds on Windows that got us 35ms on the page load test results. Took us from 218ms down to 183ms on gaius. Followed up with another small win for another 2-3ms. gaius non-cairo is still at 141 so there is still about 40ms left. Most pages are about 30ms slower on average with 1 page (voodoo extreme) that that is nearly 2.5x slower. Google is actually 10ms faster with cairo builds! We’re working hard to get performance back on par with the non-cairo builds and hope to get there soon.
