Yeah, this is important stuff, along with caching of course.

There's also minify for speeding up sites - very similar to what mod_pagespeed does: http://code.google.com/p/minify/

Yeah, as PG mentioned both are great tools & I had just run a demo test with Solomon facial plastic & it seems that both are delivering great insights on page speed.

Google Page Speed:

Google page speed gives is giving an over all score after running the performance of the site. It also gives suggestion summary with High Priority, Medium & Low priority & experimental rules. High Priority encompasses Leverage browser caching, Enable compression, Optimize images & this should be addressed first for getting faster speed & enhanced site performance.
Medium Priority :These are the ones you should address after the high priority one. It includes Combine images into CSS sprites, Defer parsing of JavaScript, Serve resources from a consistent URL etc. Next comes the low priority & experimental one. Please see the following results associated with this.

Pingdom Tool:

This is another tool for testing load time of a site. It also gives great insight on page speed performance encompassing Leverage browser caching,Avoid bad requests,Remove query strings from static resources,Minimize redirects &Minimize request size. It also gives page analysis with server response codes.

Christy, this looks like what we have to install in the server. Lets see what Sathish say about this. Then we can go about implementing it.

Did you guys also test mod_pagespeed for our work speeding up sites? I was reading about the new one for Nginx (Apache alternative) and couldn't remember if it was mentioned in our page speed work recently.
