I think the point is that the article itself is not making sense, not the news it is trying to report.

When I read the article I also thought about just normal browsing page load times. That is already so fast that a 60x increase is hardly noticeable. That just makes the news trivial and the chromium team look like freakish geeks with nothing better to do than crunching numbers that only a machine can read.

That is until I looked at the demo video, which I missed on the article and only found about here. I can see that, particularly with that photo wall and the painter thing, snappiness is what would make them work.
