Sometimes developers only care about speed. Why RPC is “faster” It’s tempting to simply write a micro-benchmark test where we issue 1000 requests to a server over HTTP and then repeat the same test with asynchronous messages. But that’s just a micro-benchmark and doesn’t tell you the whole story.

The extent to which a product performs well, the higher its likelihood of behaving in accordance to the approved design spec. Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

Performance issues surrounding Availability Groups typically were related to disk I/O or network speeds. While we were confident in the design of SQL Server 2012, several customers reported to us performance problems that did not appear to be with disk subsystems, CPU, or networks. Now disk I/O and CPU capacity were no longer an issue.
