Devices and networks have evolved too: Alex Russell @slightlylate An update on mobile CPUs and the Performance Inequality Gap: Mid-tier Android devices (~$300) now get the single-core performance of a 2014 iPhone and the multi-core perf of a 2015 iPhone. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Mind The Gap.

They are demand on the system, albeit for software resources rather than hardware resources. ## Decomposing Linux load averages Can the Linux load average value be fully decomposed into components? Latency was acceptable and no one complained. Yes, I'd say so. They aren't idle. Load averages measured in a modern tool.

JavaScript-Heavy # Since at least 2015, building JavaScript-first websites has been a predictably terrible idea, yet most of the sites I trace on a daily basis remain mired in script. [1] If you or your company are able to generate a credible worldwide latency estimate in the higher percentiles for next year's update, please get in touch.

This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. In 2011, AWS opened a Point of Presence (PoP) in Stockholm to enable customers to serve content to their end users with low latency. In 2014 and 2015 respectively, AWS opened offices in Stockholm and Espoo, Finland.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Designed for the modern web, it responds to actual congestion, rather than packet loss like TCP does, it is significantly faster , with higher throughput and lower latency — and the algorithm works differently.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). On a middle-class mobile device, that accounts for 30-35 seconds for Time-To-Interactive.
