I get pretty heavy timelines, and run on a 1vCPU / 512MiB VPS, and it never takes more than a second to load. My current timeline has 210 posts in it, and took 700ms to load. If there aren't new posts, reloads can be as fast as 300ms for the same number of posts.
One thing I modified in my instance, but was never upstreamed iirc, is that I load media and images lazily. Since I proxy all media through the instance, it used to grind to a halt with lots of images and videos on a page, loading all at the same time, but now, it's very snappy and usable.
