Cool article, thanks a lot for the link. And nice tool, the YSlow FF 
extension, I didn't know it before.

Even with all "server" and "caching" tweaking the UI is still very slow 
in the backend. For example if I reload (or login) to TYPO3, the backend 
modules to the left build up very slowly, whereas it was usually 
"instantly" there in previous versions. Backend loads in 5-6s now, where 
it used to load in 1-2s. I hope we can see some news on that area before 
4.3. :)

Cheers,
