IIRC when Macromedia had launched their new website a few years ago
(Dylan I think they called it), they published a few articles that
described web-wide averages as well as their own targets (the research
they'd done during the planning phase). They hit their target of having
pages load completely in under 15 seconds... as compared to a web-wide
average of about 7 seconds. (Those numbers are from memory -- they may
not be entirely accurate.) The overwhelming response from users was that
although it was visually appealing, it seemed tragically slow (for what
seemed to be relatively static pages anyway - I believe users are
generally okay with waiting a little longer for pages that are returning
data dynamically from a search for example).
