Testing their feed with

that Infoworld neither supports GZip encoding nor HTTP
conditional GET. No wonder their bandwidth usage is so
high. Using both techniques should reduce their
bandwidth usage by at *least* a factor of 10.


For RSS, but not for the rest of the site. Public sites just
can't send cachable HTML because they need to rotate the ads
and count ad impressions. Cached pages mean lost ad revenue.

For ad-free feeds, caching is excellent. Then put in an Expires
header that shows when it would be smart to check again.
