I dimly recall reading something along those lines that came from Amazon, but I think it was a side remark, not a published study.

My suggestion was about plotting for content/advertiser networks the lag for their Javascript against the income the site derives from the network. This is quite likely to be somewhat sensitive information, at least to a degree, so sharing it would be generous.
