It's also bad design, should be done by the server, and it's really annoying when using the back button, as one as to hit back twice before the page move forward again...

DD:: I don't think that's a valid approach, as the time for someone with a disability to read and activate this "slow down" link is probably greater than the time author are willing their mainstream audience to stay on this page.
