The site feels rather snappy to me. The backend is powered by PHP; most pages load in 100-200 ms, which is very reasonable. I've certainly used much, much slower software, especially for business purposes.

Maybe the demo site is suffering from whatever the hacker news equivalent of slashdotting is, or the host might not be well-connected to the internet outside Europe.
