latency

Adapting from playing at high latency to low latency also takes quite some time.

* Latency: Typically reducing latency costs the API maintainers more dollars, but it makes the consumers' applications more performant.

How fast is your network link, both in terms of throughput and latency for the sites you visit?

Back when the only data center was in Stockholm, the only way to meet latency requirements was P2P.

If he practiced the game living in Pakistan, he has played the game at a latency of 170-250ms.

So that's roughly the fraction of time spent on memory latency in the single threaded cpu miner.

If not, it should be done locally or over a LAN where latency is extremely consistent but probably locally.

If anything playing at that latency has held his skill back, not served as a barrier to increase his skill.

If you are interested in building: Low latency and high throughput distributed systems applied for real time bidding on native ad inventory.

That way all queries are local which has the added benefit of low latency.

The lag of ~200ms makes a huge difference when compared to players from EU and NA who play at latency of 10-30.

The reduced request count is especially important when it comes to the mobile experience, where bandwidth might be great, but latency is terrible.

Or from the consumer's perspective, how much latency is "acceptable"?

The reason why I called this one "most convincing" rather than "convincing" is that even with a 99% hit rate a single miss has such atrocious latency that it would seem to matter.
