1MB pages are performance-oriented now. Apparently this isn’t a parody.

- coffeeblack 4y agoI remember 100kB as the upper limit for pages, but that was a time when internet connections were measured in kbps. So 1MB sounds reasonable.
- bombcar 4y agoAs speeds get higher the amount of data that can "slip in" during the expected latency gets larger and larger. If your round-trip latency is 400 ms or whatever, why not have 1MB as your page if that comfortably fits into that latency?
