You're right about it being very safe and emissions free. It would be a great choice if we wanted to solve CO2 emissions. But the reporting around last week's attack on Zaporizhzhia illustrates why it's not the future. The &q

14ms for an echo server is pretty slow. 1.8s for an HTTP echo server of the same data... I don't even know how this can possibly be valid. Something's wrong, or I misunderstood the table.
