Throughput

In general terms, throughput is the rate at which something can be produced, consumed or processed.

Latency

Latency and response time are synonymous: the length of time it takes something interesting to happen.

Standard deviation does not have any meaning for a dataset that describes latency. It is not relevant.

Organizatorium

  • Don't censor bad data.
  • Never average percentiles.
