Faster loading times in your client, over 20 relays the lag sets in big time.
I've got 13 and Amathyst is very snappy 🤙

Do you have any concrete evidence or documentation to back up that claim? I am using #Snort #Iris #HablaNews #Nostrudel clients, with over 30+ relays, and I don't notice any loading time difference. It's snappy. I assume clients will fetch the notes from the fastest relays first, so even if you have a lot of them (and slow ones), it won't affect anything.
No it's just my experience, I used to have 25+ relays and my #Amethist was very laggy. Then i saw a note by nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 recomending <20 relays and it was loading snappy again. Can't find the note anymore so maybe ask Derek for details, he's more of an expert than me 😉
