Could Wikipedia be to slow to load in many countries?

This page provides some information on internet connections around the world. I think the statisics is gathered from people that runs the program on the site so the results are probably biased toward internet connection speeds for people that are interested of knowing their speed (I guess this makes the results higher than the true average), but not sure about this:

Looking at the "surf speed" statistics country by country and using the "past 8 weeks" option to have statistics for most countries there seems to be very many countries where the average is at 100kbps or below when surfing outside the country. Many of the countries in this statistics is also quite well developed so the countries that ain't included in the list probably has much lower speeds.

Would it also make sense to host the local projects on servers within the countries where the languages are spoken as there seems to be much higher trafic speeds within the countries than when accesing material outside?

Some information from ISPs in Kenya:

http://www.safaricom.co.ke/index.php?id=789

Safaricom provides broadband connections from 512Kbps to 4Mbps. These are listed as busines solution and only the 512kbps solution is listed as a single user connection so I guess this is a fairly high connection speed in Kenya.

http://www.ispkenya.com/leasedline-services.php

ISP Kenya gives connection speeds ranging from 12Kbps up to 2Mbps+ for their "leased lines" solutions. The 12Kbps is refered to as home/single user solution while the 2Mbps+ is refered to as a solution for a corporate client with a large LAN/WAN connectivity. Once again indicating that the average home user connection probably is very low speed.
