Except it isn't.

Lots of things could be faster than they are.

Loading one page is probably faster that loading a template and only after that loading the data with the second request, given that the network latency can be pretty high. That's why Google serves (served?) its main page as a single file and not as multiple HTML/CSS/JS files.

    XSLT is XML: It can be served with the XML as a single request.

    You don't have any idea what you're talking about.

    Google.com used to be about a kilobyte. Now it's 100kb. I think it's absolutely clear Google either doesn't have the first idea how to make things fast, or doesn't care.
