Hi

About documentation in general, I would like to write something about 
the new
views, and about the sitemap elements map:aggregate, map:part, etc as
I have noticed that they are not described.
I will just post the plain text, or should I write it directly in the xml?
My english is not perfect so you surely have to review.....

I think the problem of the slow response is that neither html-pages, nor 
the images
has a LastModified, or Expires http-header. Setting the headers for the 
images
could be accomplished by modifiying the ResourceReader class.
Trying to speedup without modifying an source you might want to change 
the sitemap of
documentation setting an expires parameter:
For example setting an expires parameter values makes the resource to 
720000 will make the
resource valid for 1 hour, thus speeding up the loading of documentation 
pages the next 1 hour,
I think this would help as a first step to speed up the documentation pages:
The sitemap setting example:   <map:match pattern="**images/*.jpg">
    <map:read src="images/{2}.jpg" mime-type="image/jpeg">
      <map:parameter name="expires" value="720000"/>
    </map:read>
   </map:match>

   <map:match pattern="**images/*.gif">
    <map:read src="images/{2}.gif" mime-type="image/gif">
      <map:parameter name="expires" value="720000"/>
    </map:read>
   </map:match>

The ResourceReader documentation states:

 * The <code>ResourceReader</code> component is used to serve binary data
 * in a sitemap pipeline. It makes use of HTTP Headers to determine if
 * the requested resource should be written to the <code>OutputStream</code>
 * or if it can signal that it hasn't changed.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   <dl>
 *     <dt>&lt;expires&gt;</dt>
 *       <dd>This parameter is optional. When specified it determines 
how long
 *           in miliseconds the resources can be cached by any proxy or 
browser
 *           between Cocoon2 and the requesting visitor.
 *       </dd>
 *   </dl>

Perhaps setting always a LastModifiedHeader will help too.
