I have read this page quite "live" during the hackfest (it was a rainy
week-end down here in Montpellier). It has some very interesting things

Much slower, no, but I know for sure that decreasing tile sizes in one of
the first optimisation you do when you deliver map on the web. But I am not
sure decreasing DPI Tto 72 will make a big change though...

We spend half a day to understand why the layers did not have the correct
behaviour regarding min and maxScale. After some deep thinking, it appeared
it was relative to DPI . I can confirm for sure that using the OL option
OpenLayers.DOTS_PER_INCH = 96 and asking tiles in 96 DPI works. No more
problems (we tested it on a very complete and complex Qgis project)

Great news.

I think it is a good idea :)
