Speed Curve

AUGUST 8, 2017

I've written a lot of posts about page bloat, starting way back in 2012, when the average page hit 1MB. These numbers should not in any way even remotely be taken as a benchmark for your own site. A couple of month ago, someone asked if I'd written a page bloat update recently. The answer was no. Not all pages are getting bigger.

These numbers should not be taken as a benchmark for your own site. The median page today serves 25 images, compared to 42 images back in 2012. You can see this by looking at the synthetic test result for Sears.com (again, available via our Industry Benchmarks ). Not all pages are getting bigger. How quickly do they show up?

To provide some coherence to the music, I decided to use Taylor Swift songs since her discography covers the time span of most papers that I typically read: Her main albums were released in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2022. Right now, widely-used benchmarks for AI code generation (e.g.,

The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively. Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate. low-end Androids have finally caught up to the iPhone 5 from 2012. Tap for a larger version.

SQL Server According to Bob

SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). This chart shows our scaled results using a OLTP workload derived from TPC benchmarks.

This situation was so bad that Microsoft offered a 25% discount on the cost of SQL Server processor core licenses for SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2014, if you ran on qualifying AMD Opteron processors with six or more cores. I am optimistic that they will have higher single-threaded CPU performance than Intel Cascade Lake-SP processors.

Well, performance comparisons aren’t so easy since the AppFabric license agreement states: “You may not disclose the results of any benchmark tests of the software to any third party without Microsoft’s prior written approval.” Testing Scale-Up Performance.
