Ok, here's one with a log scale so you can clearly see the exponential trend line

I share your sentiment that DK being a statistical phenomenon actually makes the effect more interesting. I also, however, think that you are being too semantically liberal when you insist that this proves the effect exists. The DK effect is a _psychological_ effect, with a whole lot of psychological theories around it's causes. If the cause is statistical, the psychological effect can no longer be said to exist.

The stasticial phenomenon exists, surely - but I think it will be very confusing for everyone to re-use the same name.

Why, if his monthly bill is 83 cents, and he values his time? Does not using a CDN impact performance in a crippling way that neither me nor the poster you're replying to understands?

surfboard shape?

Would you mind expanding the acronyms? This is super interesting, but hard to follow (and also somewhat hard to google, apparently Arbr is a bike brand)

because you have to fetch it from RAM, unless the problem is small enough to fit in cache

But I'm not sure this fallacy has a name.

I've also noticed it, and I've attributed it to the fact that the devil is in the details - you see all the intricacies and problems in the details of the solution you know, but only the shiny facade of the other proposed solution. It's basically the same idea conveyed by "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" - that's not a very handy name though.
