I've got a few more weeks of data from Google's Site Performance. The data seems to indicate that the site speed is about the same it was in the last posting. However now Google indicates I'm 7% slower, so I have to assume that the other sites being used as a comparison are also getting faster? Because it still indicates 3.7 seconds to download a page.
Their text; "On average, pages in your site take 3.7 seconds to load (updated on Apr 20, 2010). This is slower than 62% of sites. These estimates are of medium accuracy (between 100 and 1000 data points). The chart below shows how your site's average page load time has changed over the last few months. For your reference, it also shows the 20th percentile value across all sites, separating slow and fast load times.".
So far 833 pages have received the newer smaller html code for Google's Search Bar, but I guess the 1k of text reduction per page doesn't seem to be helping any. Looks like this is a scrolling graph, as Nov has fallen off the end and replaced by newer data in Apr. The Page Speed suggestions do not seem to be updating, as Google still shows the pages and suggestions as before.

4/23/2010 I think this graph is being updated almost ever day ~ maybe a few days delayed. Now their text says updated on Apr 21.
The details about issues with pages still say the same thing. I assume as Google crawls my site they update the chart. But the suggestions must not get updated until Google Bot re-crawls those pages.
Ya-know the page that they indicate is the slowest at 5.3 seconds ~ I just clicked on their link [to my page] and it came in under a second? Or it didn't take 5 seconds.
5/6/10 I'm looking at the current chart Google provides ~ it looks different. Yes it's sliding as new data comes in and old data drops off, but the spikes are changing. Maybe the chart data gets recalculated each time the chart is updated?
