The site I logged into was with WP Engine (not a site I operate; just one I help maintain). It's fast, but there's still a perceivable lag when clicking around the admin area.
I'm not sure if you've played with Ghost much, but I recommend signing up for a free demo account at http://ghost.org if you're at all curious. Create a few posts, click between them on the contents tab, dive into the (currently very bare!) settings page, and try editing and saving a post – everything feels almost instantaneous. I don't get that feeling with WP, even on WP Engine or WP.com.
