Pulling out Instagram 100 times in every workday, yes, it's a total disaster
It may also contribute to smoking. :D Or (over-)eating... or whatever your vice is.
"Wait. You were going to ditch subversion for git because of 16 second branch merge times?"

Performance matters.

Over time that adds up when your coding consists of REPL like workflow.
16 seconds is infuriating for something that needs to be manually tested like does this jump feel too floaty.

But it’s also probable that 16 seconds was fairly early in development and it would get much worse from there.
