Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Contended, over-subscribed cells can make “fast” networks brutally slow, transport variance can make TCP much less efficient , and the bursty nature of web traffic works against us.

Geekbench CPU performance benchmarks for the highest selling smartphones globally in 2019. To optimize storage interally, you could use Dropbox’s new Lepton format for losslessly compressing JPEGs by an average of 22%. In real-world scenarios, most products aren’t even close: a median bundle size today is around 452KB , which is up 53.6%

Geekbench CPU performance benchmarks for the highest selling smartphones globally in 2019. To optimize storage interally, you could use Dropbox’s new Lepton format for losslessly compressing JPEGs by an average of 22%. On a middle-class mobile device, that accounts for 15–25 seconds for Time-To-Interactive.
