I think it's actually meant to encourage putting up things like spinners, page transitions, etc. Make the user feel that something is happening, and they won't feel slowed down.

But that doesn't mean it is better than fast. I would say "if not fast, be responsive"

I think the message is this: fast is an impossible standard to meet since there will always be inconsistent user experiences, so aim to be responsive before being fast.
