I just put the throttling on in the network tab of Firefox/chrome developer tools. Plenty realistic

- paxys 5y agoThat throttles the internet bandwidth, not CPU, memory, disk reads/writes or any other constraints that lower-priced hardware will have.
- killingtime74 5y agoIt’s true but as an approximation it’s pretty good no?
- rovr138 5y agoCPU cores, cpu frequency, available memory, disk read/write speed all affect performance too. CPU cores and available memory can be limited via a VM. CPU frequency, and disk speeds can't. 5200RPM disk vs SSD/NVME is a HUGE difference. If it's swapping often on a 5200RPM, that's a significant slowdown.
- starburst 5y agoIt's not only about poor network connection but also poor CPU / RAM, having a website visually lag / taking multiple frames to render is not a great experience and having a top of the line desktop can make you easily not aware of those issue. There is something very pleasing about everything running smoothly without any hiccups.
