We’re actually getting push back that we need to make things more performant before A/B testing… “too much revenue on the line” kind of thing. We’re pushing to get them to test the assumption that “slower ALWAYS means lost value”, but this is a big machine…

Rendering time metrics are tricky because in actuality it’s really more about perception, in application, than true wall clock time. Is the A/B testing just showing that it’s slower to load, or that it’s definitively worse for end users?
