It takes 3-5 seconds for my rather powerful laptop to 'build' a twitter page after it has loaded (since it is doing AJAX etc), and this is warm. This is also on a rather fast internet connection, in the latest firefox and chrome. Compare this to Facebook - which has enough javascript to make it slow on my netbook - it loads almost instantaneously under the same circumstances, even when performing AJAX requests.
