It doesn’t matter what’s technically possible- in fact, a computer that works too fast might be viewed as suspicious. Taking a while to give a result is a kind of proof of work.

In recent times I found myself falling for this preconception when a LLM starts to spit text just a couple of seconds after a complex request.

Right after the IT-alert the quality of my mobile internet connection plummeted for almost an hour, my ping from Italy to Netherlands was between 100 and 600ms (usually it's 30-55ms).
