By the way, setting Last-Modified: and ETag: and checking for 
If-Modified-Since: and If-None-Match: is easy only for log-like views: 
"shortlog", "log", "history", "rss"/"atom". With "shortlog" and 
"history" we have additional difficulity of using relative dates there.
And even for those views we need reverse proxy / caching engine
(e.g. Squid in "HTTP accelerator" mode) in front.

It would be easier to pre-generate most common accessed views: 
"projects_list", "summary" and "rss"/"atom" main for each project, and 
just serve static pages. I don't know if we need to modify gitweb for 
that.


BTW. for single client (rather stupid benchmark, I know) mod_perl is 
about twice faster in keepalive mode than CGI version of gitweb for 
git.git summary page.
