Broadly speaking, there are 3 types of media web: documents, interactive documents, applications. The Web is great for the first two and not so great for the last one. The difference between interactive documents and applications is that users will reuse applications so they need to be snappy to leverage muscle memory. There should be no delay going to another screen, even if there's a delay in updating the data in it (due to latency) and that's where, IMO, there's a huge opportunity for improvement.
