How important ....... ?

How important do you consider page load times? Or graphic load times? Is that something you monitor/consider during design?

Dial-up users are most likely not potential buyers anyway, are they?

If your freesite pages or images are 'slow to load' and 'piss the surfer off' then paysite pages, tours, sales and content downloads seem out of the question.

hummmmmmmmh?

Current stats show the US as 'sucking hind tit' as far as broadband internet users (66%) with Canada leading the pack at 80+%. That's not households that have the internet but households that use the internet. There's a big difference. And this only applies to the geos who actually spend money online. (UK-CA-AU-US) Japan and China fall into a high number of broadband users but they just don't spend money as global consumers.
