I don't disagree, but I still really really have a hard time caring about < 1ms of latency on a 50ms call.
But, if I had to pay the electric bill on 2.5 million servers, I would definitely care about wasting resources sending extra packets.
- throwaways885 6y agoThat 1 ms translates to a much larger number in poor countries with everyone on 2G.
- leothecool 6y agoI guess I'd have to see the metrics on it in production, but my intuition is that a 2% improvement to latency would be even less noticeable on low bandwidth connections where the download times are measured in whole seconds.
