While that's true of many products, I don't think it applies to SkyScanner - searching for air fares, especially aggregating multiple sources is actually really slow. They might be setting a minimum loading time so the search doesn't jump around so much, but it would never be even close to the timescales involved in the post. AFAIK Google is the only one that can do it faster due to having their own 'index'.
