Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. This avoids thrashing caches too much for B and evens out the pressure on the L3 caches of the machine.

Another problem is that a design control, intended to mitigate a failure mode, may not work as intended. Collecting some critical metrics at one second intervals, with a total observability latency of ten seconds or less matches the human attention span much better. Hence, one way to reduce risk is to make systems more observable.
