"Do fellow HNers also feel the need for speed nowadays?"
I stopped using graphical browsers many years ago. I use a text-only browser and a variety of non-browser, open source software as user-agents. Some programs I had to write myself because AFAIK they did not exist.
The only speed variations I can detect with human senses are associated with the server's response, not the browser/user-agent or the contents of the page. Most websites use the same server software and more or less the same "default" configurations so noticeable speed variations are rare in my UX.
