Because we receive them over the wire as decimal strings.
- benj111 3y agoDefine over the wire here then. The article mentions 0.8gb/s to 1.8gb/s throughput. If youre downloading something off the internet, the bottleneck isn't going to be converting the strings to ints. Further if you're downloading that much data, it suggests even more that you should be using a more space efficient representation.
- anonymoushn 3y agoFor trading we focus on latency rather than throughput. We cannot really accomplish much by telling a bunch of other companies to change the format they use to send data to all of their customers.
- benj111 3y agoAh ok, the post didn't mention trading, and that use case didn't occur to me.
