See, "we're not Google" should actually mean that you care about performance more. Google can throw millions of dollars worth of infrastructure into making an app go marginally faster. Whereas, all you have is brainpower before you deploy or ship. And it doesn't take that much more brainpower to get big increases in client performance when you're starting from not-optimized-at-all. The marginal payoff is larger and the marginal costs are much smaller.
