> It´s a shame but I do this too

You do what too? Conflating correlation with causation? We all do that at one point or another :) Speed is no doubt important but it's only a part of the big picture. The site I'm maintaining has roughly 60% bounce rate. If I'm to take the "study" at face value, that means all of those bounces are due to 3+ sec load time. And if I somehow manage to bring that to 0.1 sec (preferably using Akamai's services), the bounce rate will magically go to 0%. Of course, that doesn't happen in the real world.

Btw, great article, thanks for taking the time to write it.
