I have installed Firefox in my machine and the difference is around 3 seconds.
For me, how my system feels is pretty important. If something isn't snappy, my stress levels start to rise. So those 3 seconds do make a difference. Some people might not care at all, which is understandable.
If you don't care, use it, enjoy it. You're free to pick what matches your priorities and preferences.
I would care if it took 3s to start, after all I moved all my storage to NVMe for a reason. So I totally get why you would be annoyed with snaps, it’s just that in my experience there’s simply no noticeable startup time in 23.04, firefox opens in under a second. So they either fixed that in LL or you can outmuscle it with hardware, and I’m genuinely just curios which one it is.
I'm inclined for the second one. It would be pretty big news if they fixed it. My hardware is not bad but it isn't great either. I usually get laptops from my workplaces so my personal laptop is kinda old.
Keep in mind that a lot of people use Linux exactly because they don't have good hardware specs.
