Initial request performance is important too and is an area the RichFaces
team is going to investigate for 4.0.  How to bundle not only the static
resources, but also the dynamic resources into as few requests as possible.

I think that page speed is good at visualizing offenders and pointing the
way, but it is like a bird dog.  It shows you where the meal is, but does
not get it on the plate ;-)
