Yeah, we've done some work on it. :) > but if they other end is on a 56K dialup, it wont matter that we can > deliver content in 10^-99 seconds The biggest bottleneck is that our site does a lot of image manipulation for various reasons. When the user has just requested that we turn a bunch of 300DPI scanned TIFFs into a single PDF, we'd be hard-pressed to overspec our processing and memory needs. That's the kind of latency reduction I find myself optimizing for.
