I have seen that done and it does not help speed at all, it's simply not a Content Delivery Network - in the end it's just another folder on your same host.

Here is my gtmetrix report if you are interested. Our load time is horrible according to them but for me it's usually lightning quick to load. I feel like Google Adsense will add one 1-2 seconds to a page sometimes but the real content is already loaded by then.

I use ONLY the Patrick Meehan webpagetest site (Meehan is Google's Tech head.) They're not selling ANYTHING there... Most sites that give you a bad report, are. Webpagetest is ALL about education.

Here's a test I just did on you, the pageload is not too shabby for a site loading 111 requests.... This was with a IE10 browser on cable internet, Dulles VA. You can choose any browser, dozens of locations and connection types.

As you can see by clicking on the waterfall view, your js is cascading parallel, just fine and dandy for IE10.
