Application latency is not going away; at least, not until we reach significant breakthroughs in quantum physics.
That’s why we believe that latency is today the most important factor in application performance, but one that’s least understood or appreciated by users.
To solve the latency problem software developers and IT engineers must be aware of software methods in order to optimize the communications – including multi-threading, caching, and pipelining – in order to reduce the amount of round trips that need to be done over the wire.
