interesting, I just tried google "yellow dog" and ask it to retrieve from the 900's result, the access time is 0.6 seconds, while the first page comes out in 0.33 seconds (well of course the first page result may well be cached, but as I go from the first page to the 8'th page, the time does consistently increase) https://www.google.com/#q=yellow+dog&hl=en&prmd=imvns&ei=Q_maT433OombiQeB3dm1Dg&start=900&fp=a2cbb8d5ae567362
