Not having to reestablish the connection is a nice thing, but 20 round trips is still 20 round trips. Lots of opportunity for delay there.

- giantrobot 5y agoYeah this is something people love to gloss over. On good 5G the connection latency might be 15-20ms to some topographically "close" server. Realistically that's an absolute minimum and you'll see 50-100ms latency to actual servers. When work depends on those resources it can't even start until all the data is returned. Far too often nothing can happen until a case are of resources gets returned. Then there's the fun outlier of some slow AdTech script that finally returns, screws with the DOM, and causes a layout and repaint. It's just today's "What Andy Giveth, Bill Taketh". Great job all around everyone.
