The problem is that while the info is definitely out there, it's not all in one place (at least as far as I've browsed). Moreover, there are a couple of specific applications of the speed tricks that haven't been clearly laid out before (particularly, applying Cache-Control headers to dynamic images generated by the WordPress Facelift plugin, or the ideal .htaccess settings if your host is MediaTemple).
