Completely non-scientific timings on my part puts it at less than 500ms, which is completely acceptable for a page that won't be accessed very often. I may end up doing some more accurate timings when I dig into performance in general.

I like it :) P.S. to Neil - I did a slight optimization in that I save the page when it is generated, and check to see if the saved page is never than my home page. So after a new post, only the first hit costs the time of regeneration, after that it is just a copy.

Joe: Fair enough, half a second doesn't sound like the end of the world.

Ole: That sounds about right. I bake (build once) my entire site but that's the next best thing for a dynamic site. If you're doing it properly you have to check whether any of your templates have changed recently too.
