For instance, I just timed how long, after I type ibm.com into my address bar and hit enter, until all the whiz-bangs finish arriving: 12 seconds. Sun.com: 26 seconds. Dowjones.com: 23 seconds. WashingtonPost.com: 12 seconds.
I am guessing that the bottleneck is not in my connection to the Internet, since I download through Sprint residential ADSL at around 300
My brief experiment indicates the slowdown is on your end. IBM: 3.875 sec (total size = 176,346 bytes) Sun: 5.838 sec (total size = 342,310 bytes) DJ: 7.651 sec (total size = 699,191 bytes) 468k of that in a single shockwave animation that should allow your browser to render (and report done) long before the file finished loading) WP: 14.190 sec (total size = 376,000 bytes) not including the 882k movie All of these were measure with cleared browser caches - so if you frequent these sites, they should be even faster for you.
