Personally I think that Onspeed & Artera Turbo are MUCH better web accelerators (given that they have many servers across the globe and support image/ftp/mail compression..etc), but you just can't say no to Google now, can you?
I don't know though why Google designed this keeping broadband users in mind. Broadband by definition means > 256 kbps. I think that IS quite sufficient for ordinary web pages (given GWA's limited acceleration capabilities). I'm using dialup however, and the speed increase is quite noticable.
Although GWA is in a very nascent stage; once they add image compression and more global servers, only then it will become worthwile. But it will take quite some time for that to happen I guess.
For those who are looking for some SERIOUS web acceleration, I'd say stick with Onspeed or Artera Turbo... Until perhaps Google releases the final version of GWA.
I made a customised Firefox installer called as FirefoxIE (Based on firefoxie.net). One click and you get a Firefox that looks and feels EXACTLY like IE! It's more than just the theme- Right from the Title "Microsoft Internet Explorer" to the floating Image Bar, everythings there:)

I just got banned for 72 hours!!!!!
/. please exclude GWA from the RSS ban??
First of all, I'm on dialup and my IP changes everytime I log in.
Secondly, my Opera downloads RSS feeds only hourly.
Then I realised! Its the stupid GWA I've been using! Hardly a couple of hours and I'm already banned? Damn! So much for bad PR..

Heres a screenshot of FirefoxIE.
