Global Page Load Time and Browsing Habits

I looked for this data a couple months ago and it was not easy to find. ClickTale, the hosted, live analytics company compiled usage data of their subscribers to come up with a pretty good overview.

Both posts are worth a read, but here's a summary:

Part 1:

• There is a good graph of main country average pageload times
• Graph of on page time per country
• Countries with slower load times, users spend disproportionately MORE time on each page
• China has the lowest speeds
  
• Dutch and Israeli surf the fastest

Part 2:

• Pageviews per country
• Overall average time spent on 1 site per country
