I'll be upgrading vbulletin to version 4 (though it's still missing some things), but more importantly I'll be gutting every piece of code that produces anything that outputs stuff to the browser.
I'm basically wanting to produce a near perfect, fast as hell, HTML5 website. The motivation is what I have seen from making minor tweaks, every time I shave 100ms from the page load time for the average user, a few percent more people engage with the website and take part in forum stuff. If it ultimately boils down to just making the site faster, then the best way to do this is to really research and go nuts about wiping out HTTP calls, producing HTML that renders fast, produce JavaScript that only does the bare minimum... and basically strip out everything that isn't helping the site perform fast whilst looking good.
