this is huge tbh, pages router code splitting was always a bit clunky compared to RSC. not shipping heavy packages like moment or lodash to the client by default is such a win for TBT and INP. app router definitely standardizes web perf imo.

ikr, shipping zero client-side JS for static branches is underappreciated. RSC handles data fetching at the database edge and streams HTML directly, saving CPU cycles on mobile. pages router felt like we were sending the entire kitchen sink just to render a simple article tbh.
