> Knowledgeable developers know how to deliver web fonts quickly and web fonts that looks good on your system.
1. most developers aren't good, or at least not paid well enough to do what they consider a good job.
2. you cannot deliver web-fonts taster than you can deliver a page without web-fonts. Web-fonts will always be driving latency. On average in a noticably annoying way more often than not.
Besides... Downloading a 1MB font to render some typical 4kb of text? What sort of madness drives this behaviour?
I can definitely see the potential for a web-fonts blocker extension, like I now have ad-blocker and in the past had a flash-blocker (which now no longer seems needed).
