>>>Except in extreme circumstances is this really warranted? Really?

Agreed. Seems like grasping at straws. While I can see that long load times might effect the overall user experience for some small segment of the population, it certainly has little to do with the quality of the content on the page. And I'd expect that the primary focus should be on quality.

This is likely such a small issue that it seems to have been a make work project/got a hammer looking for something to hit.
