Ok, here is a quick test. I am pretty sure none of us has any portion of cisco site in our caches. Copy&paste this link into your browser and see how long it takes for this page to completely load. It has no flash, nothing complex: a bit of text and a few images, very much like things used to be in the 90s:
http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/index.html http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/index.html
Takes about 4 seconds on my 4Mbit/sec connection with AMD X2 4400+ and 3GB of RAM.

- staunch 19y agoLoads completely in 2-3 seconds for me. I'm ~20ms away from www.cisco.com (which is served out of San Jose for me). Anyway, that Cisco page actually does contain javascript and CSS. Not a very 90's style page. Here's a better test of a 90's style page that has a lot of content: http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html This page loads almost instantly for me.

- cninja 19y agoFor the cisco, it takes about 6 seconds on my average speed connection. If you want to see what takes so long, I recommend using FireFox's Firebug extension. In Cisco's case, it is a simple 20k html file, but then there are 3 js files and 8 css files each of which has to be loaded in a particular order before the page is rendered.
