DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lindsey Simon (Google). This talk will present 
 some findings from testing reflow times in a variety of browsers under d

SUMMARY:Best I/O is No I/O
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Frank Mashraqi (NetEdge). Disk I/O adds most to
  the latency of an application. For many MySQL based sites, performance 
 problems become extremely painful when in addition to overnight growth, 
 the data set fails to fit in the memory. Sharding strategies can be very
  difficult to implement overnight. Quick wins can be secured by optimizi
 ng data based on application access patterns & making working data sets 
 fit in the memory.
