No, I was specifically talking about load time which is instant (compared to the majority of the internet which is not).

Also, as far as hardware is concerned, I am comparing a 14 year gap between a desktop computer of 2001 to a 2015 iPhone 6s - a 5 year old phone that still runs on battery for about 6 hours.

But that has nothing to do with load time and why most websites today can’t load in under 1 second (or even 10 seconds).

I’ve heard many complain about React performance, yet I have seen React with ssr or static rendering perform amazingly well.

My site for example loads as fast as hacker news on first page load, and then faster because of static rendering and pre-fetching, yet it has unlimited interaction.

I imagine if I profiled the performance of this demo, it would be similar.

Open the paint example.. it actually takes a few seconds

Wow, you’re right!

That’s faster than I can remember it loading in real windows xp on a desktop (and that was installed versus downloading additional code for that module).

Impressive!
