It's pretty fast.  I'm just very, very picky about latency. ;-)

It's good to know you're interested in which corner cases are bad. The next time I have a noticeably slow page load, I'll contact meta@.

Sounds reasonable to me. If performance gets bad, that's just a reason for people to help out (either with patches or e.g. with donated VMs for hosting).
