I'm looking into optimizing my web application's client side performance but cannot figure out a good goal for # of http requests for a page.

How does YSlow calculate the grade? This doesn't seem to be documented.

Also it seems many sites like linkedin.com, amazon.com get an F grade but the page still loads quite fast. How does it fail but still perform well?

Gmail get's an A grade and it has 43 unprimed/10 primed requests.
