Google releases Page Speed

Y!Slow is ridiculous. It will give your site an "F" grade for not using Akamai, even if your site loads in a fraction of a nanosecond. It's just a silly checklist. The new Google tool doesn't have binary rules of thumb like Y!Slow and it gives some very detailed info.

The strange thing is I went to the session "Even Faster Websites" at the Google I/O conference last week and they didn't even hint at the existence of this new tool.
