Amen. - Some of the web applications I have recently built need to run on flaky modem and satellite connections from remote locations and the '4th world' (my phrase). Keeping JavaScript to a minimum and not using images for navigational elements helps a lot, but that doesn't stop a "content" person from sticking a 1mb image (image tags set to display at 200x180), or a huge flash movie into the content.
It's a warm feeling when you get an e-mail from Quatar telling you how well everything worked. :)

meuon: I hope to get some of those emails from the people I'm working with in the future.

fwiw, dan, the front page of flutterby loads in about 8.5s after clearing my cache.
You win. ;)
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
