When a user requests for feed then there will be two parallel threads involved in fetching the user feeds to optimize for latency.

“Latency” is the duration from the execution of a load instruction (to an address that misses in all the caches), and the completion of that load instruction when the data is returned from memory. . The example below is for a 2005-era processor with 60 ns memory latency and 6.4
