I worry about having to continually having to make things more efficient, yet everyone wanting a richer interface. At some point the user needs slow down a little. Ted: I think you may be right, as more and more blog/websites continue to pop up and more links appear in RSS feeds and the Twitter stream user patients may grow shorter than it already is, and thanks for the link! @skyrocket: I think the rule applies less to web apps you use everyday, probably is important if you’re evaluating the service though.

I made this one of my three links on my design blog Design Thought for the Day: http://designthoughtfortheday.blogspot.com/2010/01/01-26-website-redesign-or-tweek-rush-to.html All the best, Ted I see your point and I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse to more stuff that’s out there.

You don't see this topic floating around as often as it used to. I'm not sure I subscribe to the idea that anything longer than 4 seconds means the user is absolutely going to give up and leave. I obviously agree that the faster a site loads the better and no one wants to see a loading GIF, well at all really, however users will also be at least a little patient for content that they really want or need. My Gmail usually takes about 6-10 seconds to fully load once I login and while that's not what I'd prefer in a user experience, I'll wait because I need to use it. Admittedly, I do get impatient with some sites that do take more time to load than should be necessary. The Huffington Post is probably the one that sticks out the most at the moment. I try to avoid longer page loads for my projects by placing my JS scripts at the bottom of the page but this is not always possible. So far, so good. Knock on wood. I’m glad you brought this up.
