Google ready to take up the World's traffic

Google has just announced the WebAccelerator, a tiny Windows(-only) tool that redirects all the URL requested to Google server, which acts as something like a proxy server: using page compression (presumably gzip), prefetching, and other optimization techniques.

But it was reported that the tool only saved fractions of seconds. I'd better not to try it. :-P
