First, the page is blocked on downloading a ton of tiny JS files, then the 3MB flash clunker comes in, followed by more JS and image download... first (useful) render at a sweet ~20s.

I've interviewed hundreds of criminals, too, not to mention pseudo-criminals who work at corporations that survive almost entirely on their ability to fool people.  I'm frequently asked: what makes people fall for scams?
