A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. This server is spending about a third of its CPU cycles just checking the time! I also shared setting the clocksource in my talks and in my 2015 [Linux tunables] post. 30.14% in the middle of the flame graph.

Thankfully, I found some older linux-devel mailing list archives, rescued from server backups, often stored as tarballs of digests. It's time in some cgroup paths, but this server is not doing much disk I/O. Latency was acceptable and no one complained. My search was starting to feel cursed. to the load average.

Is it worth exploring tree-shaking, scope hoisting, code-splitting, and all the fancy loading patterns with intersection observer, server push, clients hints, HTTP/2, service workers and — oh my — edge workers?

In the end, it’s not the load events or server response times that define the experience, but the perception of how snappy the interface feels. It used to provide an insight into how quickly the server outputs any data. This knowledge will give you the best optimization target for ongoing efforts. What does it mean?

Devices and networks have evolved too: Alex Russell @slightlylate An update on mobile CPUs and the Performance Inequality Gap: Mid-tier Android devices (~$300) now get the single-core performance of a 2014 iPhone and the multi-core perf of a 2015 iPhone. The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively.

Long FMP usually indicates JavaScript blocking the main thread, but could be related to back-end/server issues as well.

There are different considerations when deciding where to allocate resources with latency and cost being the two obvious ones, but compliance sometimes plays an important role as well. The move to the cloud is projected by 2015 see a reduction of 30% in IT infrastructure costs, which amounts to $7.2 Spot Instances - Increased Control.

In 2010, however, nearly none of it existed: the CNCF wasn’t formed until 2015! IPC clients are instantiated targeting that VIP or SVIP, and the Eureka client code handles the translation of that VIP to a set of IP and port pairs by fetching them from the Eureka server.

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.

The new AWS Africa (Cape Town) Region will have three Availability Zones and provide lower latency to end users across Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2015, we expanded our presence in the country, opening an AWS office in Johannesburg. What would have taken two weeks on local servers now only takes a few minutes.

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. Websites would magically become 50% faster with the flip of a switch!
