Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

    Their wordsFilesystem reads in that case are 10 nanoseconds at most (the filesystem cache helps so much here) but doing any network roundtrip is 10 milliseconds at minimum. It's at least a million times slower because of how reality works.
