I think that is dodging the real issue with this site. The new identicons and the extraneous Javascript seem to be causing this site to really drag during peak hours.
Glad to see you're actively looking for ways to improve the site.
If i could make a small suggestion...
Fire up fiddler as you browse the site so that you can see the total payload. you'll see that things like emoticons and identicons and various other items are being delivered repeatedly or are cached in such a way that a connect is still required to determine
if the cached copy is valid. Each item that results in a 304 doesn't really cost much by itself in terms of page performance, but over time, all these connects have begun to add up. Some small changes in the cache headers might have some rather quick and
noticeable effects.
Not true! This is a legitimate issue that I have experienced in multiple browsing environments.

Hi,
You can already switch this in the "Edit Profile" > site options section > content editor. There you can choose between 3 different code editors.

I compleatly agree. This weeked I'll be doing some performance profiling. Identicaons in particular is a performance problem.
Thanks

Works quite slow for me too - ~6-10 seconds at least and sometimes much slower.
