Wouldn't the latency be a huge issue?
The latency is a bit of a worry.
Latency is not that bad usually.
The point is that latency also matters
The latency seems like it'd be a big problem
Latency would be a good reason, wouldn't it?
performance isn't just about bandwidth, how about latency?
Wouldn't matter much for the usecase that was presented in parent. Latency can still be at ~1ms.
You're right. It's all about latency not throughput!
Lower latency would change things a lot more than higher speeds.
