Regarding the magento breadcrumbs, if you know the back-end file structure, try to locate the breadcrumbs.phtml - this one normally contains the code for your breadcrumbs. You can add the trailing slash to it to avoid the additional server load. Justin, happy to know that you liked it.

Unless I'm missing something, this seems to solve only half the problem. What about the way Magento generates its own URL links? For example, Magento's category breadcrumb links have no trailing slash. When a customer clicks on one of those links, the above rewrite rules will redirect the slashless request to one with a trailing slash. But the need to process the re-direct causes additional server load and delay (however small) for the customer. It would be far preferable if Magento could be coaxed into adding a trailing slash to all links appearing in the front-end. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks for handy info.
