I propose four key ingredients: Definition: What is "performance" beyond page speed? The chief effect of the architectural difference is to shift the distribution of latency within the loop. Improving latency for one scenario can degrade it in another. Objections to the comparison are legion. What are its goals?

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. Since instances of both CentOS and Ubuntu were running in parallel, I could collect flame graphs at the same time (same time-of-day traffic mix) and compare them side by side. Microbenchmark os::javaTimeMillis() on both systems.

Each smartphone comes with various screen sizes and resolutions, operates on different network speeds, and has different hardware capabilities. Test how user-friendly an application is: Google search engine gives high priority to websites in comparison to desktop apps. Google ranks applications based on how user friendly it is.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

A Primer on Speed. Discussing performance and “speed” can quickly get complex, because many underlying aspects contribute to a web-page loading “slowly”. Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Congestion Control.

The speed of backup also depends on allocated IOPS and type of storage since lots of read/writes would be happening during this process. PBM uses the faster “s2” library and parallelized threads to improve speed and performance if extra threads are available as resources. Records backup progress logging.

You need a business stakeholder buy-in, and to get it, you need to establish a case study, or a proof of concept using the Performance API on how speed benefits metrics and Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) they care about.

Using just a few (but still more than one), however, could nicely balance congestion growth with better performance, especially on high-speed networks. Finally, not inlining resources has an added latency cost because the file needs to be requested. Note that there is an Apache Traffic Server implementation, though.).

Here's some output from my zfsdist tool, in bcc/BPF, which measures ZFS latency as a histogram on Linux: # zfsdist. Tracing ZFS operation latency. Both Xen and KVM have had many performance and security improvements, and workloads can now be tuned to run at almost bare metal speeds (say, a 3% loss or less). Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C
