You don't always have to have tracking code to record data  I work as an in house SEO and the majority of our stats are from an SQL database, we store actions and searches within the database, no obvious code to anyone outside 
Of course, I'm not saying CTR is the defining factor in getting sitelinks otherwise someone could create a bot or 10 and have sitelinks for insurance lol

"Huh ? A high traffic site has good enough specs to serve their own pages. But any third party analytics server may not allocate sufficient resources. As a result there will be a noticeable delay in rendering the page at the user end. "
i'm no techie in that area.. but is that how it works? The page wont render until AFTER the aanlytics server has responded? Are you sure?? seems odd to me.. what if the analytics server is down or slow? your pages would never process?
I assumed the page with the analytics code just sent out a referrer to the analytics url.. i dont think it waits for it to respond, does it? thatd be crazy..

Yes. Place your tracking code after the main bulk of your own content, just in case there is a delay in the tracking code being actioned.
I usually place it just before the common page footer code.

It does. If the third party server doesn't respond and results in a time out error, then the browser tries to "fill in " the page with the remaining code. Try a page locally with Google Adsense in a slow connection and you can see that the page takes longer to load the ads. It depends on the HTML code and the place where the ads are placed for the latency.
Any calls made to third party servers will always add to the total latency time to render the page.
Google Analytics has 2 versions - old version which can be added anywhere in the body and the newer version which needs to be added in the header part.

Use the Developer options (like Show Network Timeline) in the Apple Safari web browser, or an extension like Firebug and YSlow for the Mozilla Firefox web browser to see the timeline of the page elements loading, and how some are dependent on other things loading up first.
