In conversations about optimizing performance, I regularly hear something to the effect of: “But how do I convince my boss that these changes are worth the time & effort?” My glib answer has always been: “Don’t, just do it.” But I realize that not everyone has the ability to easily make changes to everything that is involved. So, here are three reasons you can give, that should help any smart boss see the benefits of optimizing performance.

Tint your windows in seconds, via wi-fi…
By now I’m sure you’ve seen the Chrome Experiment, Roll It. Now you can have a behind-the-scenes walk-through on what went into making it.
Now here’s a performance statistic you don’t see touted very often, but it is an interesting one nonetheless! Especially since it puts IE10 at the top!
Wow, WebGL just continues to impress…
And finally, every Stack Overflow post ever, in a single PNG…
