90% of the time I'm using an iPhone 4 and struggling to navigate the site. Biggest issues:
-not showing the latest poster before I click the arrow for latest post.
I'll really use the site before I edit in more. What are your issues specifically? What type interface are you using LoS? I'm assuming prison computer with IE.

As you can see, it improved the First Byte Time from a D to a C and the Compress Transfer from a F to a A
Pretty decent gain, here is what is happening there:
Apache Module mod_deflate
When a user hits your website a call is made to your server to deliver the requested files.
The bigger these files are the longer it's going to take for them to get to your browser and appear on the screen.
Gzip compresses your webpages and style sheets before sending them over to the browser. This drastically reduces transfer time since the files are much smaller.
The reason gzip works so well in a web environment is because CSS files, JS files and HTML files use a lot of repeated text and have loads of whitespace. Since gzip compresses common strings, this can reduce the size of pages and style sheets by up to 70%!
Gzip has to be enabled on your webserver which is relatively straight forward.
When a browser visits a webserver it checks to see if the server has gzip enabled and requests the webpage. If it's enabled it receives the gzip file which is significantly smaller and if it isn't, it still receives the page, only the uncompressed version which is much larger.

If they are not there, you can either re-configure Apache to have them linked statically or load as DSO (Dynamic Shared Object).
