I found this blog post and thought it may be helpful for coders.

Just a warning for anyone who follows the link - it takes about 3 weeks
to load in your browser and requires about 5GB of ram - as all 250 tools are on one page.

Actual stats: 100.2 seconds to load, 809kB of text.

Look at the total page load - phenomenal - absolutely phenomenal.
Total HTTP Requests: 467
Total Size: 9016272 bytes - Yes that really is 9MB.

I know that sites that measure and assess total page load tend to have very
conservative guidelines - but for a laugh I had to reproduce this line:

IMAGES_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your images is 8483062 bytes,
which is over 30K. Consider optimizing your images for size, combining them,
and replacing graphic rollovers with CSS.

I have noticed that on Mashable.com for many of their special topics. Is there some reason they refuse to break it up into reasonable pages and you a prev and next. The lights dim in my neighborhood when I load their pages. Make they could make a mashup and offer bits of it using web services?

But, dionysus, it is, indeed, a helpful list!
