I use this tool a lot when I am optimizing my code to see how much I saved (every byte adds time!).
Using this tool, you can see just how much fat there is in your code. I have literally shaved off 50% off of some pages. Unfortunately, while it is possible to build a web page that will get congrat ratings all the way down the list (scripts that will fit inside a single packet, and minimal http calls for example), they are less than optimal for realistic everyday use (though I admit, I am currently toying with a currently abandoned URL I own and using it to create a site that looks good is valid XHTML and CSS and gets congrats in ALL the categories covered by this tool. Actually, it is kinda fun to work in the limits imposed by the tool and see just "HOW SMALL and minimalist you can go and still have advanced features.
