Yeah, I wonder how good TeX renderers would have gotten if page rendering happened client side in a browser.

TeX worked (and works) in batch mode on ancient hardware. Today's computers are so much faster, that this should actually be fast enough to run interactively without having to change or optimise too much.
Why does TeX take so long to render documents today, then?
