I did not believe it until I saw.

I had a clumsy GPRS connection and I was trying to play Battleknight, a web game. Several pages failed to load because the timeouts were set at 60 seconds - I was being attacked without being capable of occupying my player first.

Out of frustration I tried Firefox: loading time of the pages went from 60-80 seconds to 3-4. Regularly. If you consider that my connection was billed on time basis you may understand the savings, when the connection costs 3$/hour...
