I think it could be less irritating if they would just increase the speed to be at or above reading speed. Surely someone has researched what that speed is and written something about it?

I think it's worth defending because even though I was annoyed by it, I did read every letter! Maybe because it's because I'm slightly invested since I started using gpgtools a few days ago and was very impressed by the software, but still, getting people to read copy is a very desirable thing on any marketing site right?
