FWIW, a GET / (front page) while logged in takes 1-1.5s for me (TTFB). ~3s till load with ads blocked, ~5.5s with ads. Both numbers without caching, but that only seems to shave off about 200ms (most of the time is spent in JS and rendering the site).
Front page does indeed take that. But many links (comment pages) take around 3 seconds as I mentioned (generation time, has nothing to do at all with my browser) and pages with hundreds of comments (like most links in the default subs) can easily take over 5 seconds to generate.
