Cache Expiration
Playground for ripping the boost expiration code out so other modules, like varnish can use it.
Google Closure Compiler
This module aims to utilize Google's Closure Compiler API to optimize cached javascript files. On cron run, the module sends the contents (or the URLs) of each javascript file to the API, writes the response which contains the optimized javascript code to the files.

Fast File Transfer with X-send file
If your talking about very very very fast file transfer then here is the destiny.
Why xsend module is made for?
xsend is a simple module to help you to speed up your private file transfers. Normally Drupal private file transfer is quite troublesome and not secure if the files folder is located at public_html. This module will also help protect your files from unauthorized access.
Why you need this?
- If you're still using Drupal public file transfer you're not secure at all. Every one can get your files.
- If you're using Drupal private file transfer, you're secure. But file transfer to the client is very slow.
- Fast secure file transfer can only be achieved from the xsend.
How to migrate to xsend?
- If you're using a standard Drupal installation then follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.
- If you're currently using private file transfer correctly, then you can still use this INSTALL guide, but make sure keep empty, the path to Drupal installation directory settings.
What is mod_xsendfile
mod_xsendfile is a small Apache2 module that processes X-SENDFILE headers registered by the original output handler.

This module will allow you to manage a vast number of sites from one Drupal site. The purpose of this project is aggregation of information and link generation to help you accomplish common tasks faster. In case you're concerned, there is no permission escalation going on because you still have to click to access the other sites pages to set the settings you want. This is merely aggregating information for you at the moment. In the future it will allow for modifying settings across the network (hopefully) but is stil a ways off. Here's what you get in this module and will get in the future:
What's there now:
*Network Status Report -- Spend minutes and hours going between status pages on your the sites in your infrastructure making sure you don't have any database updates to run or cron jobs? This is part of what this will solve (v 1.0)
*Review module selections -- See what modules are activated across all the sites in your network (v 1.1)
*Total up columns - see the total number of modules active across sites you define or (more importantly) how many users of role x you have across your network (v 1.2)
