3. Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling

   Limiting the speed of data sent by a data originator (a client computer or a server computer) is much more efficient than limiting the speed in an intermediate network device between client and server because while in the first case usually no network packets are lost, in the second case network packets can be lost / discarded whenever ingoing data speed overcomes the bandwidth limit or the ...

5. Software bloat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bloat

   Niklaus Wirth has summed up the situation in Wirth's law, which states that software speed is decreasing more quickly than hardware speed is increasing. In his 2001 essay Strategy Letter IV: Bloatware and the 80/20 Myth , [ 3 ] Joel Spolsky argues that while 80% of the users only use 20% of the features (a variant on the Pareto principle ...

6. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

   When talking about circuit bit rates, people will interchangeably use the terms throughput, bandwidth and speed, and refer to a circuit as being a '64 k' circuit, or a '2 meg' circuit — meaning 64 kbit/s or 2 Mbit/s (see also the List of connection bandwidths). However, a '64 k' circuit will not transmit a '64 k' file in one second.

7. Wait state - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait_state

   Wait states can be used to reduce the energy consumption of a processor, by allowing the main processor clock to either slow down or temporarily pause during the wait state if the CPU has no other work to do. Rather than spinning uselessly in a tight loop waiting for data, sporadically reducing the clock speed in this manner helps to keep the ...
