Seems the way to go would be not to load extra content at all; just set your flag, load the essential page elements, see how long it took, and if it’s too long, don’t bother loading the fancy stuff. If it was a split second, load the big stuff, or load the medium weight stuff and then see if that look too long to merit loading the big guns.

This does make sense. Fact I am researching now for this. We will use it to redirect what bitrate to push to the client. If they have dial up, a audio only stream, if they have 500kbps or higher, then a 400kbps stream etc…

Each time they come back, you just do the check again, why deposit a cookie. If they are on dial up, they are use to slow things, if they are on broadband it will be fast.
