those statements sound like incredible cherrypicking

does 1.11% sound a lot an is it statistically significant?

cut page in half from what to what? from 30 to 15 seconds? or from 2 to 1?

improving one second like how? from 12 to 11 or from 2 to 1? and is 2% really substantial?

Large companies spend a LOT of money trying to increase conversions by even tenths of a percent. Yes, 2% is substantial.

[buboard]

yeah , large companies. like , the 50-100 top sites right? Why would everybody else care about minor speed improvements
