Great post! Contents of it aside, I very much like the disclaimer:

> In this post we’ll be discussing lots of ways to tune web servers and proxies. Please do not cargo-cult them. For the sake of the scientific method, apply them one-by-one, measure their effect, and decide whether they are indeed useful in your environment.

Far to often I see people apply ideas from posts they've read or talks they've seen without stopping to think whether or not it makes sense in the context they're applying it. Always think about context, and measure to make sure it actually works!
