This is still very much a perception thing. The paint delay default is
(iirc) 250 ms; so if a page takes longer than a quarter of a second to
load, nothing will be painted in that first quarter second. (If a page
fully loads beforehand, it gets painted right away.) Lowering this
number, or setting it to 0, usually causes an overall performance loss:
we spend lots of time doing layout and repainting while we're still
doing incremental reflow and the like as the page is loading. However,
maybe 250ms is too high of a preset these days; 100ms might be better to
strike a balance between perception and reality. I have no idea how to
actually test this, though.
