It depends. There are other things to take into account. If you increase the time it takes a mobile device to complete a transaction by only a couple of seconds, if you multiply those couple of seconds by all of the users in a large metro area, you end up with devices increased use of network resources (and increased battery drain on the devices themselves). Anything that can be done to speed transactions up and get those transmitters shut off as quickly as possible is a win. If you don't have a lot of mobile clients hitting your site, then maybe that isn't a problem. Every network has their own set of resources and their own set of challenges and all of that has to fit within the network architecture they have deployed and their business model.
So in our environment reducing the load time on an application by a couple seconds nets out to several human lifetimes a month, so people count seconds and fractions of seconds like they're precious.
Basically, there is no "magic bullet".
indeed, it has to be applied systemically.
