How will Google's new speedy sites reward benefit or hinder Dolphin Sites?

This information taken from an article that I was reading, Have seen a few articles about this of late:

To succeed online you need strong search rankings. Without them potential customers will struggle to find your website.

Search engines understand that great user experience drives more business. Recent research from Google has uncovered the dramatic effect that page load speed has on user experience and that a direct relationship exists between website speed and business results. As a result Google have declared speed as one of their top priorities. Yahoo! have also stated "Our goal is a better, faster web experience for all."

The Google model now officially rewards fast loading sites with higher rankings, and penalises slow loading sites with low search enging rankings, poor AdWords quality scores and higher costs.

Google Webmaster's Official Blog states: "Like us, our users place a lot of value in speed - that's why we've decided to take site speed into account in our search rankings."

I ask the above question as there has been conversation around this very topic of load speeds for dolphin before and thought it would be interesting to get peoples feedback on this.
