Even the difference between ~16ms and ~33ms is noticeable to most people for the "click to see result" perception loop -- that's the difference between 60fps and 30fps.

100ms is a glacially slow reaction time in comparison, and it's a bit sad that most of the tech industry is setting their performance goals so low.

(In fairness, I suspect most people wouldn't be able to verbally express why the 16ms feels better to them than the 33ms, but would subconsciously notice the difference.)
