Yes! I think before someone calls themself a "web developer" they should go view pages like that and bask in the instant load time. View source on that page and take a moment of silence to appreciate it. And then think about it every time they add a newsletter subscription call-to-action or auto-playing video.
At this point, I'm starting to think somebody could turn this into a viable business model. An app/site where extreme performance is literally the unique selling point.
