I'm sure this delivered large performance improvements and I wouldn't try arguing against it. Only in extreme circumstances does the cost (in processor time and I-cache footprint) translate to a tangible benefit - circumstances which usually resort to hand-coded assembly anyway.

Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones. Poor performance has a compound effect on user expectations at an ecosystem level. Live by the link, die by the link.

In 2015, Google published a blog post announcing Brotli and released its source code on GitHub. At that time, I was working as a freelance website performance consultant. I started building my own performance optimization service for my clients. We only cache hot files in memory at edge servers. Brotli’s beginning….

SQL Performance

For many years, I explicitly advised people not to run their SQL Server workloads on AMD hardware because of the much lower single-threaded CPU performance and consequently higher SQL Server core license costs. This has led to a very noticeable reduction in generational performance increases since Broadwell-EP, as shown in Figure 1.
