My thought would be more that there was a connection problem. Modems
retrain after some while and what they do is get connected at a lower
speed.

The fastest I was ever connected was 54K with a 56K modem. I coud keep
that up for aboyt 5 minutes. After that the modem retrained and even
though there still was a physical connection, data droped to 0.

52K was possible for a long time. When I moved, my maximum connection was
40K and on dry days 42K. This after some tweaking on my modem.

I have seen modems go slow because of many several reasons.

That said, if there would be a 'printable' css that would filter out the
left and top column, en.opensuse.org would go from 18220 to 11530 bytes.
Cleaning it up even more would also be possible.

On a larger page (e.g. Making_a_DVD_from_CDs with 35k) the difference will
be much less, unless you are willing to remove a LOT of layout.

Now this all does not mean that there can not be any speed improvement:

A nice page that shows how fast things download and also pinpoints the
main problem to the css files that are way too large compared to the rest.
