redfrog: Well if it is a problem somewhere between BK and user, it makes sense that a page with less information will take less time to transmit then a larger page with more information. (yea, normally with good connection you are talking about fractions of a second worth of extra data - but when there is a slow connection, you could be talking seconds per page saved - which when you have to load many pages right after one another, that can add up to a lot of saved time... and in turn, will give the users even a better illusion that the site is running faster.)
