The subjective part is defining a sample group. If someone has a sample group that they have measured connections speeds for, the rest of the equation falls into place.
I am not asking for 'imaginary' numbers. I am asking if anyone has investigated this question and if they have any results they can share. BTW, Steve Souders, the creator of YSlow and author of O'Reilly's 'High Performance Web Sites' book does a better job at explaining these performance issues than the site you mentioned, http://www.karpach.com/yslow-and-asp-net-100-points-a-grade.htm Steve's site, http://stevesouders.com/ is a great resource for all sorts of performance related topics.
