Search engines and load time

Do search engines care about load time? My site is around 50kb, including the style sheet, but the problem is that the whole thing is inside a few nested tables, so you dont actually see anything until all the HTML is loaded.

Would that make any difference to the search engines?

I'm not sure about the exact size limitations, but there is the possibility the spiders/crawlers will timeout on large sites. Again, I'm not sure how big is too big, but there is a possibility you may not get indexed as easily.

I'm not sure what affect this could have in terms of rankings.

response time does impact your rankings in search engines. serach engines don't want to their top 10 pages to take forever to load. that'll definitly piss off their users.

So when search engines measure page load time do they count things like graphics, which they presumably don't actually bother loading anyway. Do they count style sheets and external javascript?
