Pretty much. When the developers only use the latest phones, on a company (or unlimited) plan, connected to 4G LTE with full bars, this is what you get. Google seems determined to hide network latency with its various prefetching efforts, but since I'm paying for bandwidth, I'd rather just wait the extra couple of seconds.

Google makes money off companies whose goal is to keep you in a mindless state of flow. Having to wait for a page to load disturbs that flow, making it more likely for you to realize you're being monetized and/or just wasting your time, and should do something else instead.
