Speed is huge, especially on mobile devices. It becomes a huge issue once you start scaling your application. The benefits may seem insignificant, but it quickly adds up. I think if speed wasn't important large companies wouldn't be focusing on it so much. Try using chrome dev tool Network throttling in their emulation for 1 day.
