That's perhaps depend on the type of your customers/users, and their priorities.
If you have "users", then you might be right, as no harm will be done, if once in a few years, their free service will be shutdown for 18 hours.
However, if your customers are running core and critical parts of their business on your system, this part becomes a significant factor in the equation.

- aidos 13y agoAt 2s difference it's fair to say that a user is going to notice. Maybe even at 200ms. But at 20ms? I'm not sure that counts. I know it's just a fabricated number but the point is that the server you're running on won't make a difference to the user experience. And, probably in the case of the differences were talking in these machines, a user would never notice it. Edit: meant to say, I agree with you.
