With caching being a potential issue, how would you recommend we configure the Host setting of the site?

Currently, this is how things look...would you recommend any changes?

Page State Persistence: Select the mode to use to persist a page's state. This can either be a hidden field on the Page (Default) or in Memory (Cache).	Page Memory
Module Caching Method: Memory caching provides the most flexibility and is the highest performance method however it also consumes the most system resources. Disk caching is the least expensive on resources but does not offer any flexibility.	Memory Disk
Performance Setting: Select how to optimize performance.	Heavy Caching
Authenticated Cacheability: Sets the Cache-Control HTTP header value for authenticated users.	ServerAndNoCache
Compression Setting: Select the type of Http Compression to use.	GZip Compression
Use Whitespace Filter: Select this to remove excess white space from the response sent to the client - this will result in a smaller download (10-15%) but it will make the html less readable.

I had about 4 seconds on average, which is pretty decent, with the loaded data about 300K (160K just for Javascript - compressing if possible might help a bit).

I did notice that there is a redirect to http://glynn.schooldesk.net/ which adds a bit and there is a load of a dead css file (http://glynn.schooldesk.net/skin.css doesn't exist). Neither could account for slow load time. Of course, schools often have hardware/software firewalls that can do somewhat unpredictable things (when they don't work just right).

I think a thorough job about performance would be something to do .... when you call a site quick what words would you use then? speedy? or something else?
