/. has a story on Google's Page Speed Service:

I ran the service test on my website and on sfx:
Bottom line is that it makes a significant difference for a "full featured" site like sfx and a moderate difference for "the rest of us". Sfx, for example, gets > 40% improvement in page start, and page load. Check out the videos (scroll down) associated with the tests.
I don't know what they'll eventually charge, but it might be worth it if it turns out to be as good as it appears.
