Slow page rendering today is typically caused by server delays or overly fancy page widgets, not by big images. Users still hate slow sites and don't hesitate telling us.

Besides usability specialists, all design team members should observe usability. It's also good to invite executives. Although biased conclusions are possible, they're far outweighed by the benefits of increased buy-in and empathy.
- Usability and Mobile Devices
2010-05-12
Daniel Roberts
Usability.gov
As of May 2008, there were 40.04 million unique users accessing the mobile Internet at least once a month (Nielsen, 2008). This number increased by 73% over a period of two years (i.e., 2006-2008). As the prevalence of PDA and other smart devices with Internet connectivity increase, so does the need for attention to the usability of these devices.
Much of the body of Web usability literature has been done on computing in a stationary environment. And although much of the existing research applies to the mobile Web, some principles need to be altered to address the unique problems associated with this form of Web access.
