I don't actually use good reads, but I clicked around - everything I clicked on loaded faster (less than 2 seconds, usually less than 1) than everything I clicked on in medium (always more than 2 seconds, where this blog post is hosted).
Neither site is fast, but "one of the slowest around" doesn't track either.

I've long suspected (without evidence) that this is intentional because they nerf the mobile web experience in an attempt to get you to use their app.
