Yeah, last weekend my blog was very low, so I test it on http://tools.pingdom.com/, find that is actually the twitter plugin that sucking up the loading time.
After disabling it, now is back to normal.

I would also recommend to use this online free performance testing tool - http://Site-Perf.com/

It measure loading speed of page and it’s requisites (images/js/css) like browsers do and shows nice detailed chart - so you can easily spot bottlenecks. It's very detailed and accurate, supports a lot of features like Keep-Alive and HTTP-compression.

Also useful feature is that this tool can measure quality of internet link of your server.

I just tried this free performance testing tools recently, overall i think it work similar to tools.pingdom.com with additional features like what you mentioned, keep-alive, http-compression and max threads per host.
Just the web design I think should be improve to web 2.0, other than that I think it's a great free performance testing tools.
Recommend to everyone :-)
