Do you usually dig up your garden by hand with a shovel, or do you use a rototiller?

Now we're getting somewhere. This is a great example because obviously speed depends on the context.

Obviously a shovel is quite an improvement for home gardeners but big constructions need a completely different tool.

For +99% of TS projects going from eg 10ms to 1ms is not going to make any difference even though it's a 10x improvement. In part because most monitors refresh at 60hz (16ms per frame) but even with +120hz monitors this is not going to have an impact on any workflow. Even for CI network latency is going to be a much bigger factor than improving TS compilation beyond the performance that TSGO already provides.
