You can either bookmark the results and go back to do the comparison or there is also a test history if you just want to locate previous runs (link to the test history is directly below the url entry field). Not sure if you're looking for slower or faster with the speed but if you switch to "First View only" it'll cut the test time in half by only running one test. There's also the desktop version which is a browser plugin if you prefer it to be interactive (http://pagetest.sourceforge.net) but that is restricted to whatever your connectivity is and you'll have to clear you cookies and cache manually (things the web version take care of for you). Feel free to submit feature requests through sourceforge and I'll slot them as I get time. -Pat FYI, the test results from pagetest are available indefinetly.
