[thelist] how "heavy" do you make each page?

It seems to me the term "page" is not accurate enough. What page? I am
more willing to wait for the details of a record, or a flash demonstration
or a product that I'm interested in purchasing than I'm willing to wait for
a home page to load of a site I've never visited.
To me, each link/page download has a value proposition. What is the value
to me to click on this link and wait? The cost is my time. For sites where
I have a history of getting good value, I'm willing to wait more. For a
site that I have no or little history, I'm willing to wait less.
I think Jared Spool has actually seen data like this for how long people
would wait to download images, but he can probably comment more completely
on this issue.
