Has the download heft of a flash game -- without the payoff. Since the user really isn't sure of what the payoff will be, this is a problem.
I'd suggest a hybrid site which loads something immediately and gives potential clients a clue as to whether to stick around or leave.
A thousand unfortunate flash ideas start will "Well, all my clients have broadband..." Guess why they got broadband. They don't like to wait and haven't the patience dialup people do. Make a mental translation -- five seconds on dialup feels instantaneous and five seconds feels like twenty seconds on broadband.
