My take: ABSOLUTELY! 74kb or image data? Probably not. But unzipping, parsing/JITting/running/whatever that large of a payload.... on crappy 3 year old low-memo

My take: ABSOLUTELY! 74kb or image data? Probably not. But unzipping, parsing/JITting/running/whatever that large of a payload.... on crappy 3 year old low-memory Android devices... yes. That is going to lag. Not too long ago, Google tried to push AMP on all of us because devs were getting way too careless with their bundle sizes. We're still not to a decent place just yet. Internet speeds in The United States, Europe and populated Asia may be growing but there's an entire world that are still at "slow-3G" speeds.
