reallyslowsite.com is designed to be a tool that developers can use to simulate how their application responds to expensive HTTP requests.
You could use this, for example, to test that your mobile application is properly caching HTTP requests (it would be noticeably slower, even with a fast connection, because the request is guaranteed to take at least 2 seconds).
The specific use case I had in mind when I created it was testing the HTTP caching that will be used internally by the OpenStack "glance" project.
