"Google’s AMP currently has > 100kB of blocking JavaScript that has to load before the page loads"

Wasn't it that Google was claiming that by using AMP, you can actually make web pages load faster as it is a stripped-down form of HTML[1].

From what I am hearing from the author (Dan), bare html with minimal JS and CSS should (in theory/reality?) load pages faster.
