Interesting! I’m compiling user suggestions: I’ll do a round 2 with comparison between Python versions, Ubuntu, WSL and Windows.

Thanks for the feedback!

I’m measuring latency compared to other servers not under my control. More specifically, the time it takes me to receive a message with server-timestamped X, compared to the current time when I receive it. Using non-absolute counters like those you mention makes it impossible to compare timestamps.

In cases where you are comparing local times, I fully agree with you!
