Application Response Time

I was listening to a podcast interview with Joel Spolsky and the interviewer mentioned a quote that I thought was quite good. He quoted Jacob Nelson (I hope I got that correct).

“If the application responds in a 10th of a second, then you feel like you are in control. If the application responds in a second, then you feel like you are being controlled. And if the application responds in 10 seconds, then it is broken.”

BTW: Joel had some interesting ideas on Ajax and Web 2.0.
