Would have been better to evaluate the effects of CPU frequency changes separately. But there's nothing wrong with downclocking in general if you want to evaluate effects of CPU bottlenecks when you don't have high-speed links available.
- wmf 6y agoThanks to the cloud, everyone has access to 10G/25G/100G. It shouldn't be taken for granted that a CPU bottleneck exists, although from Netflix's work we know that serving >100G from one server is CPU-intensive.
