In general, for web pages, the usability experts suggest that people begin
to lose patience after waiting 10 seconds for a page to present engaging
content. This means that you need to get something on the screen for them
to read in that time. Translated into bytes, a 10 second download time on a
56k dialup would require that your page be no heavier than 40-45K, including
the weight of all code, all images, and all externally linked files.
