You, latency and profiling Filippo Valsorda — @FiloSo/le
What is fast?
A fast hash… … can hash many MB per second
A fast regex… … can process many MB/s
A fast database… … can store many GB per second
A fast database… … can store many GB per second
… or replies to queries in a few ms
A fast website… … can handle many requests … or
loads in a few milliseconds
A fast API… … can handle many clients … or
answers in a few milliseconds
Fast is… Throughput and Latency

Latency is not all about CPU
CPU profiling is for throughput The tracer is for latency
