Compared to what exactly? It certainly feels way more responsive than any non-single-page-app in my experience. The single page apps I use every day are mostly GWT apps (namely Gmail & co), and comparing those to angular, I'd say angular has the lead (though that's not exactly a fair comparison, maybe GWT could be just as responsive). Don't know how it compares to other frameworks. Obviously native applications usually still beat web apps in that respect (tho the gap is getting smaller).
