hm, I wanted to pick your guys' brain again
What prompted my initial email was me trying to get the server response
time down. I guess that's a different than page load time (which feels
to me like a more worthwhile thing to look at if you're trying to make your
site go fast...), but I got assigned a bug to just get the 'response time'
down for this one supposedly slow page etc. etc.
I'm basically just using django-debugtoolbar, looking at that CPU Time row,
and seeing what I can remove or tweak from the template to bring that
number down.
One thing that I found that would bring the *CPU time* down by a bit was
removing the {% spaceless %} tags littered around everywhere in the template
yeah, I wouldn't outright remove it, but maybe just change the docs to say
how it should or should not be used
