This particular write concern prioritizes data longevity over reading speed. Using this specific approach also carries potential drawbacks such as decreased performance due to unavailable or lagging secondaries within the replica set network issues or server failures leading to increased latency for any ongoing writing processes.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

Speed is also something Google considers when ranking your website placement on mobile. With all of this in mind, I thought improving the speed of my own version of a slow site would be a fun exercise. I’m going to update my referenced URL to the new site to help decrease latency that adds drag to the initial page load.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

If, however, there wasn’t a new file on the server, we’ll bring back a 304 header, no new file, but an entire roundtrip of latency. We can completely cut out the overhead of a roundtrip of latency. On high latency connections, this saving could be tangible. What do we mean by a mutable or immutable file? FAQs Page.
