First we try to understand this point from a layman view. If an online user searching something opens your website and it takes in loading, then definitely he or she will look for the options. As in this tech world time matters a lot and seconds too value a lot. So, obviously Google will rank those sites high on the search engines which can be loaded in least time.

Google Chrome, Google Toolbar data and Google Analytics are the different sources which give the speed related information to Google.
