DNS, which stands for domain name system , is an Internet service that translates domains names into IP addresses. You can think of a DNS server as a phone book for the internet. Using a fast DNS hosting provider ensures there is less latency between the DNS lookup and TTFB. What is DNS? Speed Speed also plays a role with DNS.

Historically, NoSQL paid a lot of attention to tradeoffs between consistency, fault-tolerance and performance to serve geographically distributed systems, low-latency or highly available applications. Read/Write latency. Read/Write requests are processes with a minimal latency. Data Placement. Read/Write scalability.

This is because HTTP/3 and QUIC mainly help deal with the somewhat uncommon yet potentially high-impact problems that can arise on today’s Internet. Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Congestion Control.

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. HTTP/2 versus HTTP/3 protocol stack comparison ( Large preview ).

Modern browsers like Chrome and Samsung Internet support a long list of features that make web apps more powerful and keep users safer. Samsung Internet set as the default browser and loads web pages from links in the app. iOS's security track record, patch velocity, and update latency for its required-use engine is not best-in-class.

In almost every area, Apple's low-quality implementation of features WebKit already supports requires workarounds not necessary for Firefox (Gecko) or Chrome/Edge/Brave/Samsung Internet (Blink). For heavily latency-sensitive use-cases like WebXR, this is a critical component in delivering a good experience. Converging Views.

Statistical analysis and mining of huge multi-terabyte data sets is a common task nowadays, especially in the areas like web analytics and Internet advertising. This approach often leads to heavyweight high-latency analytical processes and poor applicability to realtime use cases. Case Study. Counters on each position are incremented.

Here's some output from my zfsdist tool, in bcc/BPF, which measures ZFS latency as a histogram on Linux: # zfsdist. Tracing ZFS operation latency. The odd time we hit them, we'll take the "oops message" – a dump of the kernel stack trace and other details from the system log – and search the Internet.
