For what it's worth, Alexa.com lists the average load time of the websites they catalogue. I'm not sure what the metrics they use are, and I would guess they hit the squid cache and are in the United States. Alexa.com list the following average load times as of now: wikipedia.org: Fast (1.016 Seconds), 74% of sites are slower. facebook.com: Average (1.663 Seconds), 50% of sites are slower. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
