Mine is very fast http://max.io I use wintersmith to generate it, and it is hosted by nginx in an EC2 t1.micro
Indeed it is! 330 ms on my connection, 5 requests, 18K data and 13 K in flight.
CSS doesn't minify particularly well since the class names, tag names, and attributes all have to stay in their full form. Basically it just ends up being removing extraneous whitespace.
However, ever since reading James Hague's post on "Extreme Formatting"[0], I've rather liked CSS without all the extra whitespace. For example, [1]. You can see all the rules at a glance, and while it's a bit weird at first, I think you can get used to it pretty quickly. But then again, I've always sort of thought APL/J/K are beautiful in their own way.

On the other hand, I don’t personally want autosuggest, analytics, G+ integration, live updates, an apps tray, or any of the rest. For me, Google’s homepage circa 2005 was just as useful as the current one (or more useful even, since their results weren’t as crapped up by SEO spam sites, and the search syntax itself was more power-user friendly and predictable). I used to occasionally click google ads, but they’ve go…
If you don't want that, make your own Google page. Create a form with get-action to google.com, parameter q, host this on your own site or even locally, and you've got that fast simple page that doesn't register your typing.

Brilliant! I have been planning to do the same with youtube (in combination with youtube-dl) but kept postponing it. Your comment might give me the final motivation I need.
html,body { margin: 0, width: 100%; }

The funny thing is I didn't even try! Just feels like common sense. Maybe since I've been doing web stuff since '95 its in my blood to keep things tiny and simple.
I compared it with my svtble blog and I am pretty pleased with the results. No bloat at all. Just one request with inline css.
I've noted a few techniques I've used on my blog to get pages served in a single request to users, including using SSIs and avoid cloudflare's "rocket loader"
Very zippy indeed! Have you thought about switching to nginx so you can get SPDY (and soon HTTP/2)? Also, Hugo is cool. I've evaluated it myself, but I have 8 years of WordPress archives -- ~500 posts -- and I worry about things like images, comments, etc.
The webfont kills me without that it'd be under I think.
