Don't forget "Blazingly Fast!" on every other startup marketing page. (It's so cliche at this point it hurts to read.)

Blazingly fast is open source library lingo, startups are more pretentious.
They usually use the word "performant", not "fast", which makes it worse IMO ...
And by it they usually mean "only half as slow as the competition" - IRC is 1000x less slow but nobody got VC capital for that
