"Analysis of sources of latency in downloading web pages by Marc Abrams. The study examines several sources of latency: DNS, TCP, Web server, network links, and routers. Conclusion: In most cases, roughly half of the time is spent from the moment the browser sends the acknowledgment completing the TCP connection establishment until the first packet containing page content arrives. The bulk of this time is the round trip delay, and only a tiny portion is delay at the server. This implies that the bottleneck in accessing pages over the Internet is due to the Internet itself, and not the server speed."
