One could easily assume that as it does seem like they are obsessed however, a number of other companies have run test on speed and have come up with similar results. (see:

I think in the end, we are very willing to wait for a page load especially, if it is something we are familiar with but for the common surfer passing through, I would see where they may have a very short attention span. Or perhaps they believe that the more time you have in front of an add banner or link (even if its just milliseconds) the higher the likelihood they have to click through. I do think that people want a page or video to load as fast as their TV Remote would change channels.
