Remote calls are never free; they impose extra latency, increase probability of an error, and consume network bandwidth. How can we achieve a similar functionality when designing our gRPC APIs? When we process a request it is often beneficial to know which fields the caller is interested in and which ones they ignore.

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.
