I wonder if it would have a better success rate on a site other than Google's, since I've heard that Google's done extensive tuning of their TCP stack to send page data faster.
Somebody's oversubscribed $3/month shared PHP hosting might not ramp up the speed as quickly.
- lazyant 12y agoyes, they also have a bigger initial TCP window than the default
- ivraatiems 12y agoI think it would still be significantly too fast. That oversubscribed PHP hosting is still sitting on a dedicated server that does nothing but serve TCP/IP all day. My hunch is that the code is very heavily optimized for most production servers, because they're all using the TCP/IP stack in the kernel. It won't be as fast as Google's, but it won't be as slow as python either.
