I agree, although it also depends on the context. If a page needs to fetch lots of data and takes 3 full seconds to load, the middle case (4x improvement) makes it go from an amount of time where you glance at your messages to on par with the average javascript-laden website we're used to anyway (except in this case it's legitimate loading time). If, however, we're talking about most pages, that are mostly static and just fetch some article contents and author name from the DB in 2 milliseconds... yeah, it can be 10x faster and nobody cares
