Um...
From the O'Reilly book, Ajax Hacks:
For example, if you have ever used Google Maps, the way you can drag outlying regions into your view conveys the impression that you have all of the maps stored locally on your computer, for your effortless manipulation. Imagine how unpopular this application would be if every time you tried to "drag" the map the page disappeared for a few (long) moments while the browser waited for another server response.Imagine living somewhere other than the United States. Actually, the screen doesn't go blank; instead you see the wrong map for a while as it downloads the tiles, blip... blip... blip... blip... blip...
The application would be so sluggish that no one would use it.Yeah.

...or imagine you have dialup. You have enough time to eat dinner while the map loads in.
