&lt;p&gt;Update: 232 of my site files take more than 1s to download at 3G, with 50 taking over 15s (and one over a minute!)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So by the rules I set for myself, optimization would help. Yay I wrote a clever solution to show if I needed to write a clever solution!&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Hang on. I&rsquo;m terrible at video games.</p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;starts a sudo command&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;wanders off&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
