Regarding the pricing... I understand that nobody likes to pay yearly fees, but when I see software selling for a one time price I get very suspicious. If you want the software to continue improving, filling gaps, patching (especially WordPress)... it is simply not sustainable from the developers perspective to sell one product for a one time price, they would need some way of creating continued value from the same clients by either selling more products or by selling a support package.
Imagine trying to make reasonable money selling a product for a one-time fee of $50. There is just no way that could properly be supported from a customer support angle or a development angle.
A lifetime membership to a porn site that updates with new, exclusive content every week for $50? :-)

You're right on the updates as it costs money to support plugins on WordPress. I feel a better price for them would be $35, not $50.
I just scanned the site I want to get this plugin for and the Fully Loaded Time is 1.0s. Sometimes it's under 1 second.
Do you really think it's going to improve it all that much more using their plugin to justify their cost oppose to Super Cache, which is free? Let's say it does, does it really matter that much to pay 4 bucks a month per site? I'm leaning more towards a cdn to serve optimized images...
