What is the length of time the average user will wait at a wait indicator (i.e. a spinning circle, beach-ball-of-death, egg-timer) before they think something has gone wrong?
If anybody can point to any research to back up answers that would be a bonus.
I am mainly thinking in context of websites or within desktop applications rather than waiting for an action the user knows could take a long time i.e. waiting for a application to install or for Windows to boot to desktop.
