In this comparison of Redis vs Memcached, we strip away the complexity, focusing on each in-memory data store’s performance, scalability, and unique features. Introduction Caching serves a dual purpose in web development – speeding up client requests and reducing server load.

Compared to the most recent master version of libaom (AV1 reference software), SVT-AV1 is similar in compression efficiency and at the same time achieves significantly lower encoding latency on multi-core platforms when using its inherent parallelization capabilities. The testing has been performed on Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms.

I propose four key ingredients: Definition: What is "performance" beyond page speed? The chief effect of the architectural difference is to shift the distribution of latency within the loop. Improving latency for one scenario can degrade it in another. Objections to the comparison are legion. What are its goals?

Sometimes developers only care about speed. Some will claim that any type of RPC communication ends up being faster (meaning it has lower latency) than any equivalent invocation using asynchronous messaging. It’s less of an apples-to-oranges comparison and more like apples-to-orange-sherbet. So we’ll just use “RPC” for short.

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.
