A fantastic tool for finding out where your bottlenecks are:

Bit boring on this one as such a plain front page.

Great timing!

I was about to say the problem with these things is that I can't test dev projects that are behind an authentication wall until I'm ready to let Google in. Then I poked around and found out that their tool will actually do HTTP Auth.  I just put a site on development server behind HTTP Auth last night.

Great report - some items not being gzipped. Why? Don't know yet, but I'll find out.

For whatever reason, I find this more handy than the Google and Yahoo plugins.
