Since this issue was reported we landed several patches to help with performance. Can you test again and confirm if the delay is still present?
My expectations are that you will see a wireframe style page (like the attachment) as soon as you click the button, which will be filled with content shortly.

The behavior has improved, the delay is shorter now, but it's still noticeable.
Middle clicking the home button on Mac: https://goo.gl/SKtGxK
Middle clicking the home button on Windows: https://goo.gl/U9hq1v
I do have to say that I don't see any delay on my old Firefox profile, but I see it every time on a new profile (https://goo.gl/s82tFZ).
