YSlow: Yahoo's Problems Are Not Your Problems

I always wondered: /Why are they outright telling me that I must turn off ETags on account of server farm problems which I simply don’t have?/

I knew it was bad… But I turned them off anyway on a particular site, as at the time we were kind of competing to see who could make the most dramatic score improvement on any existing site (with YSlow).

The article, though, is awesome.
