And in browsers that unload images in tabs that aren't focused (I know that Firefox nightly does this, not sure if has got into release versions yet), the background image takes up to a second to reappear when refocusing the tab (which is quite distracting).

Also, Google Pagespeed suggests some improvements: most seem to be solvable simply by installing a compression/caching plugin e.g. W3 Total Cache (this is what is being used on FacingTheSingularity.com). (Optimisations in page loading improve SEO.)

They're running Apache, so another option would be to install Google's mod_pagespeed which will automatically make a lot of speed optimizations.

(Disclaimer: I work on mod_pagespeed.)
