That's a great response. And that was one hilarious video. ;-)
Usually, you would think that Google knows what they are doing, but it
seems like that is not always the case.

@Martin

If you are concerned about the speed, feel free to get Xdebug and
enable the profiler. It'll provide you with Cachegrind files which you
can view in WinCacheGrind (windows), KCacheGrind (linux/kde) or
webCacheCrind (browser).

Those files help you figure out bottle-necks in PHP code and if you
can solve any of them or want feedback on your discoveries, always
feel free to ping the list. Of course we're not holding back on
optimization, but we'd like to avoid the unnecessary.
