latency benchmarks

Latency benchmarks measure how quickly a system responds to a request or input, usually expressed in milliseconds. They are used to evaluate and compare the performance of hardware, software, or network connections. Lower latency indicates faster response times, which is especially important for activities needing real-time interaction, like online gaming, video conferencing, or high-frequency trading. Benchmarking helps identify the efficiency of a system’s design and infrastructure, guiding improvements and ensuring it meets desired performance standards. Essentially, latency benchmarks provide a standardized way to quantify how responsive a system is under various conditions.
