Normally I work to a rule of around 2 seconds perceived time before stuff starts appearing on the page with everything else appearing in the next two.
The thing with page loads aren't anything to do with ms duration in CF, but the perception by the user. The user does give a t*ss what the server, code, or anything else are doing to achieve that. That said, if you can't manage 4-5 seconds, distract the user with something else (ASCII Porn?).
