Our analytics indicate people like "stuffed" sites more. The data clearly shows that the bounce rate is much higher for people with outdated hardware and software; conversely, conversion rate is much higher for people downloading our multi-megabyte scripts and styles. Clearly, this means we should not waste time optimizing the site for people with stale hardware/software, and focus on delivering more exciting experience for those whose machines can process it.
