Well...
You're comparing performance of almost 20 year old computers to your current machine. It takes 3 seconds to start paint.
The webpage is 'only' using 85-101MB ram to do nothing.
Remind you that the requirements were: 233MHz CPU + 64MB RAM
Let's say you're running a late 2019 macbook pro 13". That's:
16384MB RAM, and 1400-3900 MHz cpu (x8 threads) with 8MB cache. Which includes branch etc etc.
All that aside, it looks pixel-perfect to me, and it behaves the same afaict :-)
No, I was specifically talking about load time which is instant (compared to the majority of the internet which is not).
Also, as far as hardware is concerned, I am comparing a 14 year gap between a desktop computer of 2001 to a 2015 iPhone 6s - a 5 year old phone that still runs on battery for about 6 hours.
But that has nothing to do with load time and why most websites today can’t load in under 1 second (or even 10 seconds).
I’ve heard many complain about React performance, yet I have seen React with ssr or static rendering perform amazingly well.
My site for example loads as fast as hacker news on first page load, and then faster because of static rendering and pre-fetching, yet it has unlimited interaction.
I imagine if I profiled the performance of this demo, it would be similar.
That’s faster than I can remember it loading in real windows xp on a desktop (and that was installed versus downloading additional code for that module).
