Speaking of, is the source for package-grep.cgi available somewhere?  I 
could quarter the page weight, and probably improve the render time in 
browsers considerably, too.  It currently takes about 16 seconds to 
completely load in Firefox on my system, most of which is just page 
rendering time, due to the huge table used for layout.

(I'd also need either a static copy of its input, or a way to easily 
generate it locally.)

The /packages page load time is a considerable fraction of this, at 
roughly 2-4 seconds.  It's only returning about 120 kB of text 
(compressed) so that comes to roughly half a megabit/sec.  I assume that 
means the script is running every time, re-generating the whole page 
text anew instead of caching the output, despite the fact that the input 
probably changes less often than once a day on average.  Caching should 
give a page load time of a few hundred ms, and save some CPU time to boot.
