For me, I think the baseline for what we should recommend is: feels
responsive when doing everyday desktop tasks. For example, browsing the web
with some medium number of tabs open on popular websites, and switching to a
video call while that's still open.

I know "feels responsive" is pretty subjective, so, maybe "switching tabs
should be < 0.1 second" (from
https://www.nngroup.com/articles/response-times-3-important-limits/).
