Performance isn’t just a technical concern: it affects everything from accessibility to usability to search engine optimization, and when baking it into the workflow, design decisions have to be informed by their performance implications. Looking back now, things seem to have changed quite significantly. thanks, Guy Podjarny! ).

Regardless, the overall story for hardware progress remains grim, particularly when we recall how long device replacement cycles are: Tap for a larger version.

While this is conceptually possible (QUIC does exactly that), things were initially not designed like this, because we need to be able to use TCP with and without TLS on top. Luckily, QUIC was designed with TLS in mind from the start, and as such does combine both the transport and cryptographic handshakes in a single mechanism.

Our metrics at Google show a conflicted picture (which I’m working to get to clarity on). Add onto that the yawning chasm between low-end and high-end device performance thanks to chip design factors like cache sizes, and it can be difficult to know where to set a device baseline.

I work at Google, making Chrome, for Windows, focused on performance. This is because many Windows locks are, by design, not fair and if a thread releases a lock and then tries to reacquire it immediately then it can, in cases like this, reacquire it every single time. The CFG memory block is best thought of a cache with bounded size.
