Every new origin we need to visit needs a connection opening, and that can be very costly: DNS resolution, TCP handshakes, and TLS negotiation all add up, and the story gets worse the higher the latency of the connection is. On a slower, higher-latency connection, the story is much, mush worse. All completely avoidable. to just 3.6s.
