Reminds me of an interesting story. Someone I know was considering buying Google during the online IPO sale. The website was very laggy and barely worked, so he decided not to buy the stock. "If they can't handle this issue, how could they be a good web company?" Of course my friend was wrong. And it's easier now to scale than it was several years ago. But it's an interesting story. It's not always easy to anticipate what is necessary to scale or what load will be like.
