English much?<p>I said <i>audio</i>. I provided this as a counterexample to the stated thesis of your post. There exist things that can be done over <i>a</i> network such that latency is not an issue. I am obviously not pulling data over a cross-continental link.<p>FWIW, the protocols I write at work can do a full data pull - a couple thousand elements and growing - in under a half second end to end. I don&#x27;t know of any HTML&#x2F;Web based protocols that can even get close to that over localhost.<p>So yeah - we know the Web is an utter pig. My point is that it probably doesn&#x27;t have to be.
