Let's have a quick (long?) chat about web performance.

I have the unique situation of seeing data from billions of performance profiles as we help customers with @raygunio's Real User Monitoring look to improve user experience. #webdev #PerformanceMatters #webperf
1. Many folks still think a synthetic test is a Good Thing. That is, pinging a website from a fixed set of servers. It's better than naught, but it's a pretty poor proxy for real customer experience.

You're measuring data center to data center performance (even if nerfing perf)
2. Even with nerfing perf, you're talking high quality interconnects between DCs. This compares poorly, to say, what an actual user experiences on a 3G phone while roaming around somewhere.

You're not getting realistic numbers.
