Actually, I just tossed "2 seconds" out there. I've never given much thought to how long such a delay should really be and I don't know that there is really an optimum number. High bandwidth servers should easily handle a delay less than two seconds. If there is any standard on this, I'd certainly like to know.

Cheers,
