I consider it a feature, more times than not. Google's anticipating my search, flash heavy eye-candy/media and numerous unaffiliated servers baked into web pages all clog my 1mb connection and make my browser run like molasses. How many Targetimg cdn's does it take to display a single product page? Last I checked it was 4, plus a half-dozen or more other presumably ad servers. I choose not to use many big retailers' sites b/c of it. Again, for me, that is a feature to keep them at bay from anything beyond our potential transactional relationship.
