HTTP caching enters into play. Well, if the site does not load quickly on first visit, you might not develop a user base that cares, while, when you are an established ser- vice, users notice delays less due to familiarity, so these are really two aspects of user experience, and one would look at the "cold start" independently of the experience for staying visitors if new users are a concern. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
