In 2004 I was working for Microsoft in the Xbox group, and a new console was being created. One benchmark I wrote measured the L2 cache latency. I don’t remember what the L2 cache latency was but do remember that the latency varied depending on which CPU core I ran it on. So, anyway. I wrote a lot of benchmarks.

Although both countries are relatively close to one another, they are separated by a distance of approximately 500km, which adds up in terms of latency. The use of online bank services, online shopping, and travel service browsing have increased significantly since spring 2004.

It's shaping up to be a DTrace version 2.0: I wrote seeksize.d

The new AWS Africa (Cape Town) Region will have three Availability Zones and provide lower latency to end users across Sub-Saharan Africa. AWS has been an active member of the local technology community since 2004. It is our first Region in Africa, and we're shooting to have it ready in the first half of 2020.

Using a fast DNS hosting provider ensures there is less latency between the DNS lookup and TTFB. They have been in operation since 2004 and have a long history of providing solid free DNS hosting. Speed Speed also plays a role with DNS. You can test the DNS lookup time and TTFB with a website speed test tool.
