While this is great news but is there a way to opt-out of it? I don't really mind heavy sites (sometimes) since I'm always on wifi most of the time and care more about search relevance than speed.

Kind of like how amazon shows you the search results by "Relevance", "Price", "Popularity", etc. Maybe google can do it too and let us sort by "Relevance", "Speed", "By Geography", etc.

You've never been able to opt out of any of the google search algorithm features. I don't see why you we be able to opt out of this one.
