In a vacuum, an SSL certificate does add some additional latency, as it requires 2 extra round trips to establish a secure connection before sending any data to the browser. Secondly, SSL/HTTPS unlocks additional web performance benefits that more than make up for the added latency. To be completely honest, you almost have to use it.

These strange questions came to the fore back in 2014 when Netflix was switching services from CentOS Linux to Ubuntu, and I helped debug several weird performance issues including one I'll describe here. A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. How would you time time?

Computer systems, from the Internet-of-Things devices to datacenters, are complex and optimizing them can enhance capability and save money. How many buffers are needed to track pending requests as a function of needed bandwidth and expected latency? Can one both minimize latency and maximize throughput for unscheduled work?

For Q2 2014 we're switching to IE11 which is now the most popular version of IE according to Akamai and StatsCounter and the average connection speed has been updated to 9.8Mbps download, 2.5Mbps upload with a 10ms latency. The 9.8Mbps download speed is based on the latest State of the Internet report from Akamai.

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. The odd time we hit them, we'll take the "oops message" – a dump of the kernel stack trace and other details from the system log – and search the Internet.

This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. In 2011, AWS opened a Point of Presence (PoP) in Stockholm to enable customers to serve content to their end users with low latency. In 2014 and 2015 respectively, AWS opened offices in Stockholm and Espoo, Finland.
