How many posts on the Homepage?

This question has kept me thinking for a while now. If you are using WordPress, the default number of posts that will be shown on the homepage is 10.

I left it at the default value for 1 year, but now I feel I should lower the value to about 5, so that the homepage downloads more faster.

What do you think? How many posts do you show on your blog’s homepage?
