+Today's homework will involve practicing importing third-party modules and doing more performance analysis.  The overall goal is to serve cat pictures as fast as possible.  
+
+First, pull the most recent update of this `python-bootcamp` repository.  Then, run the `httpserver.py` file.  Finally, open the `index.html` file in your web browser.  You should see a graph appear with some statistics on how long it's taking to load some cat pictures that have been committed to the repository.
+
+The objective is to replace the httpserver.py file with a faster implementation by importing third-party software.  You may also get some performance gains by changing the power settings on your laptop, which will speed up testing.
