Perhaps two whole seconds fine for your needs, but to put in perspective your performance-is-fine claims in multiple posts in this thread: I won't go live with a site that doesn't render in under 150ms, because I consider doing worse than that disrespectful to my users and wasteful of their time. The amount of effort I have had to put in in the past to make WordPress perform even adequately has been disgusting.

I think the confusion is a page can render in 150ms but load time in the above comment was more about when the load event would fire on your site. 2 seconds for load event is pretty good. It's not google fast but it's not bad if your site has any images or loads css/js - most the WP sites I've ever dealt with have 50-60ms render times...
Two seconds to fire a load event would not be allowed out of the test environment anywhere I have worked.
correct, ttfb for instance on many servers is 1 second alone. A framework being rendered vs the entire load time of a website are 2 completely different metrics.
