| Inaccurate? Maybe a little. Ok, so I downloaded the app... ran it. I got 29KB/s. Ran it again. I got 70KB/s.
Hello, DNS resolution cache.
One thing I found interesting it the long amount of time it claims my connection takes to open Google. 6K in 2.3 seconds? What? According to this, it takes 5 times longer for me to load Google than Yahoo(.467 seconds). I can tell you this is not true by a.) clearing my browser cache b.) going to both sites. If anything, it's the opposite. Google is near-instant, while yahoo takes a little while to load all the images... Looking closer as this app runs, it loads the 6K of Google in .13 seconds -- stops and sits there for 2 seconds, then adds that to google's time without ever downloading anything else. I give this test a D- for trying. |
