How fast is fast, and when does it matter?

We all know that performance is a feature. Slow load times are just about the fastest way to turn me off of a site. But at what point is a web app* fast enough?

Generating .net webservice proxy with svcuril without SoapAuthHeader in method signature

The generated webservice proxyclass for a none wcf .net webservice added an SoapAuthHeader object to every method signature.
