Very unrelated, but: I run Linux on an older Thinkpad and I appreciate fast websites. This is a very well-designed website! It loads fast and it scrolls quite quickly.

Does anybody feel the same? I feel like nobody touched upon this, but it's always very nice to feel interfaces are responsive.

Interesting, I have the exact polar opposite perception.

I accessed this through a Qubes AppVM (no GPU, limited memory and CPU budget) and the presence of videos makes this a very slow scrolling experience for me.

In general, anything that involves JS/CSS animation/blur/effects makes sites pretty slow (up to unusable for me). The unlogged homepage for github.com for example, spins my cpu at 100%.
