Congrats to the Meteor team on 1.0! We're building our app http://servicelocale.com on it for high quality services & crafts in Australia.

This site takes about 15 seconds to load on my iPad in Europe, which is so slow someone is likely to tab away.

I haven't looked into fast-render mentioned elsewhere, but initial load time has always been a issue, and it seemingly gets worse as you add more functionality to your 'app'.

Personally, I'd only consider betting on Meteor for anything non-trivial once some form of incremental/optional loading of functionality was included.

Looks great but the site doesn't feel very snappy.
I haven't found a Meteor site that does yet, I would love to see an example of one where I don't have to sit at a loading wheel. Anyone?
http://meteor.com is very snappy. So are sites using fast-render, see https://meteorhacks.com/fast-render/
Slow to load. Too slow.
