We need the search engine to display some stats along with each search result link, for example:

# of bytes the page downloads.

# of scripts/stylesheets the page downloads.

# of ads the page downloads.

# of http requests the page does.

If that happens, the minimalists will typically choose the most efficient page because competition has already ensured that content quality will be top notch in almost all of them for most popular searches.
