Thanks for replying.

Precompute whatever you can I guess, but I'm guessing the app has parameterized queries and stuff like that which are hard to precompute. In that case even a cache or LRU list is fine, say precomputing the handful of most common views people will encounter most often.

Imagine even if only Jira's new ticket page and 'open tickets' search result were pre-rendered so loading them took <200ms. The amount of hate would probably drop by 90%

Separately if you can reduce the workflow for a page from being a task in its own right (most of which is waiting around) to something as simple as a click, it can increase user confidence a lot. If something that took 5 seconds (+4 of which is just waiting) suddenly completes in 200/300ms, folk learn new tricks for your tool, like middle-clicking open a bunch of screens, or noticing they can open and close it much more easily. It makes the whole experience feel more agile, which definitely has an effect on loyalty
