Amp adds nothing to make a site faster. The opposite. It adds some mandatory libraries. It just imposes some restrictions on what a page can contain. So the version companies make to be included in amp might be smaller then their original version for that reason.
We should downrank slow bloated sites directly instead. Then companies would have an incentive to make their sites fast from the start.

In the end it doesn't matter much, but I personally do appreciate when a page is lighter and loads quickly. For instance, HN loads pretty fast even on crap, lossy connections.
