Considering all the css and ads and images on
every web page, I doubt the font download is
measurable:-).
It isn't the download time so much as the tracking. With browser
signature, it is like a trail of bread crumbs to call fonts.blah on
every page. Just like the capcha, etc.
With scripting turned off for third party sites, a lot of the overhead
is gone. My position is that if they want to push the ads with their
content, I'll see them, but I won't let them use my computer to fetch
ads for them, or track me so they can sell the information.
