It's important to separate supporting retina display mobile and desktop
devices. Apple's web site uses the load both method to show off the retina
display MacBook - which is more likely to have a faster internet connection
and is a more powerful machine in general.

Amount of data, and *when that data comes in*, are distinct things. One
other change we've got brewing up for the mobile site is to delay loading
of collapsed section content by separating it out to an API request. This
gets you loading the initial page *immediately*, then loads up the rest.
Same amount of data, but the page above the sections is live and visible
and interactive before you load the other stuff.
