I'm sure that they have a lot of people trying to work toward profitability. But it's a big company. Lots of engineers. They still have a frontend team, and those folks gotta work on something.

It works fine on desktop. Just go to http://mobile.twitter.com
It's impressive how much faster it is on even a recent laptop on broadband (admittedly I'm "only" on DSL broadband, not fiber). You now click on a username, for example, and you get their page almost instantly. While on normal Twitter, there's a noticeable half-second or so lag for the transition to load and render.

I wish we did not have to use such hacks though. And the normal mobile site has a huge header on my desktop, annoying.

Seems to be the case. I use the mobile twitter web app because it crashes less than the native app on my older phone. It does seem noticeably faster now. This seems like a weird branding/marketing push for what is essentially "we did a performance pass on our mobile website"
I also use(d) the old mobile.twitter.com site on my original iPad because the app would not run (memory limit) See this new mobile.twitter.com has me wondering: What did they change?
