Comment(by phobos):

 yslow isn't an advertisement, it's a tool to do performance testing of
 websites. However, having used it in the past, it's frequently incorrect.
 For the original poster's sake, tor's websites are hosted on two
 continents across three servers. yslow cannot tell the three apart.  yslow
 also misses the gzip compression of most mime types, including text/html.
 It also assumes that if some part of css isn't used on the page tested,
 then none of it is used anywhere else on the site.

 In my experience, native webkit devtools do a better job at identifying
 issues with performance than yslow.
