flash comparisons

After looking at flash sites this week i've seen alot that just concentrate on the visual look. Some just took to long to load, others was just unnecessary and was way over the top. I did find this site http://www.mono-1.com/monoface/main.html, i liked this site because it was fun, plain and quick to load. http://www.gettheglass.com/ One of my class mates mentioned this as been a greate looking site but just not worth the wait. I can see after looking up these sites that some designers just try to impress with flash websites but alot of the time it can be done with keeping it easy to use and not making the user wait for hours at a time just for it to load again.
