Right.
Limiting the latency is useful too.
So light document should display directly after request.
The one request per file paradigm makes latency more visible, when I click one image, it should display fast.
Yes. But as Solderpunk just said, the whole industry is marchingtowards more efficient and integrated solutions to these: reducing theenergy consumed and the latency -- ... at the expense of ever morecomplexity. Having a look at Early Data and how to safely usepre-shared keys (PSK) in the openssl documentation just made me cringe:-)
Encryption is very important too.
Yes it is. And Gemini / Mercury could be a great playground toexplore alternative options.

Cool!! thanks for the links. I am sure more and more hobbyists andhackers will develop interesting alternative network solutions. Ithink Gemini/Mercury could be a great fit in these new spaces.
