You are right maybe this is not best place to talk about usability but to add practical example from real life. Comments on articles on one of my sites have pagination 1 2 3 and link show all comments. After 3 months we did analyze of Apache logs and result was shocking, 90% of people click "show all comments" instead of going to page 2 or 3... we draw conclusion that load time is not so important and visually having all relevant data on one page is more useful. We pushed pagination to 100 comments so almost never we have to paginate comments. By the way nice blog Janes.

Also, the "10 seconds rule" is a nice rule of thumb, but it may be absolutely legitimate when some documents take more time because they provide lots of useful information (that belongs together). > > > [1] http://meiert.com/en/blog/20070621/load-time-the-ux-factor-facts-and-measures/ > > -- > Jens Meiert > http://meiert.com/en/ > > > -- Zoran http://www.rentalio.com/
