The worst thing in promoting their app is that I would gladly use it if it was faster than a web site, but it loads so much slower that it's just a much worse experience.

Google realized that load times are critical 20 years ago. Facebook realized it when Google was launching G+.

Yes, Google transformed from an engineering driven organization to a tech driven one. Still, they want to make moneycin developing countries with crappy internet connections as well, so Google doesn't have any choice, it still has to look at latencies.
