Good article, major respect to devs who actually benchmark and test - they seem so rare these days.

We had similar experience when we worked to get our system 25X faster than Redis:

Weird, I dont see any scripts other than disqus and google analytics.

Oh I just got a linked to this. Thanks. Can u share a screenshot so I can look into this. It's SSL only site with a Jekyll render, and I host it on app engine.. so should be alright. Thank you
