Amazon famously found that 100ms faster page generation increased sales by 1%. It seems like this mechanism should also be able to used in the other direction. People who want to use facebook less often might benefit from increasing page-loading time on facebook by 1 second.
Is there any existing program that can do this? The program could also be configured in a way that allows automatically raising the lag if you spent more than 15 minutes at facebook.

My Firefox often slows down horribly when opening Facebook, and I don’t see myself procrastinating less. It makes me angry when it happens, but I stay and wait until the page is loaded. (Or go drink some water while it is loading, etc.)
Could it perhaps be a difference between random slowing down and predictable slowing down?

Do you have an accurate view of how much you are using facebook? Do you have hard data, and know how it changes?
