Obviously, I'm not offended by writers who take a year or two between books...either they need that time to get the book to where they feel it's done, or they have things other than writing going on in their life (gasp!), or whatever. No problem.
Now, the speed at which new books in a series will come out does sometimes affect my buying decisions. If you just released book 2 in a trilogy, and I know it's going to be two years before book 3...it does increase the chance I'll wait for paperback to actually buy it :) For standalones (or, perhaps oddly, installment in /long/ series where each volume tends to be a complete story) that's less of a consideration.
