Users might already have the file cached. If website-a.com links to [link] , and a user goes from there to website-b.com who also links to [link] , then the user will already have that file in their cache. On a slower, higher-latency connection, the story is much, mush worse. Penalty: Caching. All completely avoidable.

Disclaimer: I didn’t find a solution, but I did find some crazy code. The fact that this shows up as CPU time suggests that the reads were all hitting in the system cache and the CPU time was the kernel overhead (note ntoskrnl.exe on the first sampled call stack) of grabbing data from the cache. Think about that for a moment.

The first—and often most surprising for people to learn—thing that I want to draw your attention to is that TTFB counts one whole round trip of latency. The reason is because mobile networks are, as a rule, high latency connections. only to find that the resource they’re requesting isn’t in that PoP ’s cache.

A quick canary test was free of errors and showed lower latency, which is expected given that our standard canary setup routes an equal amount of traffic to both the baseline running on 4xl and the canary on 12xl. What’s worse, average latency degraded by more than 50%, with both CPU and latency patterns becoming more “choppy.”

Disk latency for ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB are very important. Caches of report results are stored in the ReportServerTempDB database and I/O performance can become an issue here. To tune for a slow report, that usually means you need to create indexes for that specific report or tune the code within the report.

Synthetic monitoring actively allows users to monitor the performance of their website or application with a set of controlled variables (geography, network, device, browser, cached vs. uncached) over time.
