Boost the speed of your client-side JavaScript with the techniques contained in this excellent resource on optimization:
http://home.earthlink.net/~kendrasg/info/js_opt/
(it even includes in-situ benchmarks!)

I know there are loads of other pages on the web with JS optimization techniques, but please don't post them unless they actually contain different information to the site above! (optimize your posts!
