Very fast load with white gap in render time / time to complete

[robzilla]

I think you're running into hardware limitations of the test machine. The gap you describe begins around "Start render" and ends after "DOM content loaded", and the CPU utilization graph tells you it's pretty much fully occupied at that time. It's rendering the page.

Your repeat view load times are dominated by Google/DoubleClick (uncacheable stuff). Nothing you can do about that, I'm afraid.

Performance looks quite good to me, even from Europe. Well done
