Tools like Beaker are finally the norm, so I've high hopes for this improving over the coming year.
But yes, crazy slow alone destroys everything. Typical "fixes" include going masterless, yet there's no standardised distribution methods so you need to invent that yourself. Embedding all files into catalogs, thus turning network overhead into CPU overhead etc.
Not to mention in the insane memory usage client side, i.e. on every single box.
