For real, I had a very long page open the other day (was linked probably from another page) and it just loaded straightforward.
Meanwhile I'm developing a single page webapp and my system seems to struggle. Mind you, the unuoptimized version is already (apparently) 35MB (uncompressed) JS. Should see if I can improve that.
edit: built version is ~600KB, of which ~70KB is actual application code. Seems like I'm using a 'big' version of lodash somewhere.
Edit 2: Fixed, shaved off down to ~730KB. Biggest factors now are React itself, react-bootstrap, i18next, yup and lodash-es.
