I was so surprise when I used the Firebug to inspect homepage net load of my blog. It loaded 378K data, and most of them are js files…
I have investigated the return result and found this issue caused by following plugins:

1. Social Bookmarks:
   1. prototype.js 62K
   2. effect.js 34K
   3. dragdrop.js 32K
   4. controls.js 29K
   5. niftycube.js 9K
   6. slider.js 12K
2. WP Grins:
   1. prototype.js?ver=1.5.1.1 97K
   2. wp_grins_js 9K
3. NextGEN Gallery:
   1. jquery.js?ver=1.2.2 30K
   2. thickbox-pack.js?ver=3.1.1 9K
   3. swfobject.js?ver=1.5 7K

These plugins take extra 330K data downloaded when activated, so crazy… So I deactivated Social Bookmarks and WP Grins, keep the NextGEN Gallery only.
And I have modified the configure file of nginx server, try to optimize static files’ performance
