.2s is slow for a redraw. Just because it might take you 200ms to click after something happens doesn't mean you can't see/notice when things take that long.

I’m not saying it’s fast. I’m saying that based on the goal of what it is measuring (user input responsiveness) it’s fast enough. For the purposes of the metric anyhow.

Plus, speaking from far too long of a career dealing with user testing, respond too fast and users thing you didn’t actually do anything.

So you’re kind of boned either way. This is just measuring programmatic delay.
