Optimizing tips to reduce genenration time, num queries and data compression

[Ryno]

Hey guys,

I was wondering what optimization tips and tricks people have used for:
  - Reducing the total number of queires
  - Reducing the page generation time
  - Reducing the total size of the data sent to the browser

Like a lot of developers, my CMS MS installs will be running in a shared hosting envrironment so what is the benchmark for the page generation time to be considered good or even reasonable?
  - 2 seconds?
  - 1 second?
  - 0.5 seconds?

Was great that a mysql optimizer module was created as a result of http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 789.0.html and I also  found http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 362.0.html in regards to reducingn the total size of the data sent to the browser, although I was hoping there was a way to not have to embed custom code in either include.php or index.php.

Any input on the above would be extremely valuable.

A website should not have a generation time of more than 0.5-1 seconds (lokk at the source of your page in the bottom).

And the total size of a page should not be larger than 60-80 KBs.

That's my opinion
