Wordpress performance analysis

-
During my morning web crawl i stumbled on a post at paulspoerry.com which covers how to analyze Wordpress performance with Firebug. This was an application of Firebug that i haven't thought about even though I've been working with web development and Firebug the last couple of weeks. In my defense the projects at work aren't focused on performance at this point.
Anyway, when i ran Firebug on this blog i noticed that it spends a lot of time searching for an image that doesn't exist. By simply removing the reference to the image from my theme i decreased the loading time by almost two seconds. That's around 50% of the loading time so in my case it turned out to be well worth the 10 minutes spend.
I would like to run Wordpress in a PHP profiler to see why it takes so much time getting a page. I'm already using a cache plugin so the page rendering shouldn't be a problem.

jQuery floating table header plugin

-
A jQuery plugin that makes the header of a table floating if the original header isn't visible due to scrolling. The plugin will automatically choose the thead tag as the header for a table. If thead isn't found it will search for rows marked with the class 'floating'. The behavior can be changed by the settings forceClass and markingClass. News 2012-08-19 This plugin is no longer maintained by me and this page will therefore not be updated anymore. 2011-01-04 1.4.0 !
