Sundar Pichai explains milliseconds latency budgets for Google Search: "I’ve always internalized speed as one of the distinguishing features of a great product. It almost always reflects the technical underpinnings of the product having been done well. It's easy to say you want low latency, but you're constantly adding capabilities. The capability frontier is progressing. That's where it gets more complicated. But to give an example, Search they now have latency budgets, in the milliseconds. If you ship something which shaves off three milliseconds, you earn 1.5 milliseconds for your latency budget, and 1.5 milliseconds gets passed onto the user. Depending on what we think you're doing, some people may get a latency budget of 30 milliseconds or 10 milliseconds. That's how much we think it matters."
