I agree with the requirement for fast download speeds. Your web site is
a shop window. If, when you walk along the high street, a shop window
does not immediately grab you interest, you move onto the next shop.
Personally, when I'm browsing through search results, I give each page a
quick scan, and I decided within seconds whether to pursue that route
any further. If the page hasn't even loaded during that time, it's a
definite no.
(Sure, there are some exceptions to the rule, such as a flash
introduction to a movie web site, but in that case I am expecting a much
larger pay-off for my wait.)
