In the past, the answer would be based on the load time of a page, but over the years, we have evolved our approach to site speed to incorporate new metrics, alone or in combination with existing metrics. Today, when asking “how fast,” we need to look at more than load speed and paint metrics and incorporate interactivity and user experience.

Even if it is 4G (5G, or whatever else) that doesn’t exactly guarantee you’ll be getting the amazing, theoretical speeds promised. Once a new network does get rolled out, it takes years for carriers to optimize it to try and close in on the promised bandwidth and latency benchmarks. And those speeds aren’t constant.

Sometimes developers only care about speed.

But that’s just a micro-benchmark and doesn’t tell you the whole story. Messaging doesn’t do that.

In other words, aggressive performance features will require an exponential power cost for the performance gain using current CMOS technology.

Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. With the proper battery backup and algorithms, the hardware write cache can secure the data safely (on stable media) as well as increase the speed of an application like SQL Server by hiding much of the true physical I/O time.
