Well to be honest, I'm running through a T1 line, so I'm not an effective
judge of download times.  Perhaps when I get my 33.6 hooked up at home
again...

Personally, I don't mind waiting for a 83K page over the modem.  (In fact, I
usually load many pages simultaneously, a slow task over 33.6, so I don't
worrk about speed very often.)  Is there some general consensus about what a
decent-sized Web page should be?

I'm not sure total page size (HTML + graphics) is a good indicator anyway;
I've started to notice that much more time can be taken up in the new
connection lag than in the actual image download, esp. over a modem.

I'll also list some hard link text below so that those too (...) (26 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
