Some will claim that any type of RPC communication ends up being faster (meaning it has lower latency) than any equivalent invocation using asynchronous messaging. But to be fair, we also have to process the messages on the server before we can consider the messaging case to be complete. But the answer isn’t that simple.

This will be clearly visible in PostgreSQL performance benchmarks as a “ Sawtooth wave ” pattern observed by Vadim in his tests: As we can see, the throughput suddenly drops after every checkpoint due to heavy WAL writing and gradually picks up until the next checkpoint. But this comes with a considerable performance implication.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

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). As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated.

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. Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge. Today, either method returns a similar answer.
