> A 5MB bundle would take 50s or so to run
I deal with very large-scale Angular systems that handle this sort of stuff day in, day out ... can you give me an example of a 5 MB Angular payload that takes 50 seconds to execute?
Clearly this is on the developer.
A reasonable rule of thumb is that on a low-end Android phone 100KB of JS takes about 1 second to download and parse. A 5MB bundle would take 50s or so to run. You probably don’t notice this if you’re only testing on fast PCs/macs, or modern iOS devices.
