Proggit Thread on Faster TCP Slow Starts
http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/ld753/these_fucking_guys_got_their_page_load_times_to/
My little brother wrote a blog post, which I put into a reddit-ized headline (f-word, hyperbole, accusations, etc.), which actually turned into an interesting conversation. ON FRIGGING REDDIT. Wonders never cease.

Huh, for some reason, I can't see the comment I submitted with the post. Sorry if this shows up twice...
My little brother (I'm so proud!) wrote a blog post about faster TCP slow starts. He was sad nobody was reading it, so I redditized the headline (you know, f-word, hyperbole, baseless accusations, etc.) and submitted it to Reddit, where it actually turned into an interesting conversation about the actual topic of the post. Seriously. On Reddit.
Wonders never cease.

Credit should go to the Google "IW10" team, which did the hard work of testing this over years and (even harder) patiently convincing people one by one that this is a good idea.
I caution against fiddling with this number too much. Bandwidth-constrained users, and possibly mobile users, might be hurt with a too-large initcwnd.

Yes, tons of credit due there. In my post (http://bits.shutterstock.com/?p=74) I linked to Jonathan Corbet's coverage (http://lwn.net/Articles/427104/) of the topic on LWN, which is also a good jumping-off point for reading on the topic.
