I often work at cafes. Sometimes the connections are slow. I sometimes middle-click the links open (new tab) to avoid having to wait for turbolinks.

You know you'll wait the same amount of time, right?

My comment above mentions that. It's about perceived page load time. There are small tricks that sites do to make UIs appear faster, even if they aren't really faster. Turbolinks has the opposite effect, making the loading appear to be worse on bad connections or when there are other rendering problems.
