"Instant" is a relative word (unless we're actually at 0 time :-)). We're focus on client apps, where we're really focused on human perception. In that sense, I'd consider 22ms or 2ms as instant (for startup). I wouldn't consider 2s as instant. I'm not saying Dart doesn't have room to get better, but there are diminishing returns at a certain point.

  22ms here. 22ms there. "Focused on human perception" here, "Focused on human perception" there. And suddenly we have what is basically a supercomputer unable to perform anything without lag.
