[Dan Beam, 2017/02/01 00:47:50]

if you do something like:

<button is="paper-icon-button-light" data-path="/internet" on-tap="openPage_">
  <iron-icon icon="settings:network-wifi"></iron-icon>
  <span>$i18n{internetPageTitle}</span>
</button>

(which is dynamically adding ripples and pretty light) what's the effect on load
time?

[hcarmona, 2017/02/01 18:50:05]

IIUC paper-icon-button-light is just for an icon, no text.

When Dave and I spoke he mentioned that history's side bar was always visible
but since settings side bar slides away we only needed a ripple on the advanced
button. However, now I see that history's side bar also slides away if your
window is small enough and has ripples.

Adding ripples to all these action-links increases stamp time to ~20ms
