Good overview of performance issues even for non-performance testers

I'm a functional tester who knows little-to-nothing about performance (though "this is too slow" is definitely a problem I look for) but I've learned a lot about the ecosystem the web apps I test live in from listening to PerfBytes, and I think that makes me a better tester. I've also got a better grasp in general on how the technology I use all the time actually works, in a very practical way.

Great listening, even if you're not an IT Geek

Aside from being truly educational, the banter between Mark and James is always top shelf!
