I was pleasantly surprised, since all I did otherwise to improve performance was to add a few file types to those that are subject to gzip compression, and a few more to those types that the client should cache for some time. To get a well performing website is actually not as terribly difficult as I previously believed ([Ich habe eine Blogsoftware in C gehackt, mit dietlibc, libowfat, unter gatling laufend und mit einem tinyldap-Backend.](https://blog.fefe.de/faq.html))
