patch was not applied. Was this somewhat expected?
The patch was thought to fix some behavior. We weren't sure if fixing the
behavior would make a noticeable change. It looks like it is a significant
change.
Let me see if I'm interpreting the results correctly. The graphs show that
ewma-unpatched outperforms the other two -- their requests get to the
first byte quicker and also get to the last byte quicker. But the data in
your comment show that far fewer requests are made. Is it fair to say that
the clients in the ewma-unpatched case put less load on the network
because they're not making as many requests total? Is this 'not making as
many requests' correlated to 'not finishing some of their requests in a
timely fashion'?
