All of the links that are followed are requested every time the user clicks them. That's fine - no funny library nonsense introducing all the bugs you see with SPAs.
If Flux introduced a ServiceWorker that could cache all links, and spider the application to pre-cache links, then every click would be instant - but we could mark particular elements as needing to show the live information using data-flux="refresh" or something similar. This is the classic Instagram-style updates, where the old (good) instagram app used to display the page instantly, but then update the likes/followers behind the scenes while refreshing the latest cache.
This will be the best final feature to add some real polish to Flux.
