ADDING LATENCY TO IMPROVE PERCEIVED PERFORMANCE

摘要

Techniques described herein provide a system and methods for adding latency to improve the perceived performance of computing devices. For instance, the techniques may calculate transaction latencies for a given session based on the time between sending requests for content and receiving the requested content. The calculated latencies may be aggregated or averaged in such a way that a specific latency may be selected for improving the perceived performance. A client device may then render subsequent content based on the selected latency or a server may serve subsequent content based on the selected latency. This artificial addition of latency may enhance the user experience by creating a more consistent environment.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
under control of a computing device configured with specific computer-executable instructions,
sending a request for content;receiving the content in response to the request;calculating a current latency based at least partly on an amount of time between the sending of the request and the receiving of the content;determining an injection latency based at least partly on the current latency and at least one previously calculated latency; andinjecting the injection latency into a transaction associated with rendering of the content.
