Okay, I'll bite. When I'm at school, it's nice to have access to Chief Delphi for any number of reasons. However, the computers are public terminals, and are so loaded with adware/spyware/malware that I try to avoid transmitting confidential information on them unless I'm certain that the machine is reliable. Outright denying my access to this site because I don't want to risk compromising my password wouldn't make any sense, so I think I can see how a guest could indeed benefit from this site. It's not an issue of time, but rather of security.

That being said, giving registered users priority over guests in high-load situations is not a bad idea, so long as there's a way on the denial page to log in.
