Google is way too fast. Whats the difference seraching using google in 10 milliseconds and in 5 milliseconds?Perhaps they are taking some load off their server? I fail to see how it is useful to the search client.

They're not speeding up the search; they're speculatively pre-loading whatever the top result is into your browser, so if you click on it, that page comes up faster. Of course, this has potential negatives: * It increases traffic. * If you're behind a corporate firewall, it logs you as having connected to that site, and may raise alerts about your visiting of certain sites. * Content you might not want on your machine winds up in the cache. Same for cookies. * The site *may* turn up in your history (I haven't checked this). * The site logs your IP as having connected. I've turned this feature off. Peter Trei
