Improving Performance with Batching Client GraphQL Queries

The article completely misses the fact that every modern browser supports HTTP/2 which solves the problem of many concurrent HTTP requests. Moreover I don't like that the performance was measured with Chrome Dev Tools because I experienced significantly slower performance simply just by opening Dev Tools.

` If Query Batching is enabled, Apollo will not issue requests immediately. Instead it will wait for up to 10 ms to see if more requests come in from other components. `

This has always felt pretty lame to me. GraphQL has the entire request as an AST, it should know how to batch without arbitrary "debounces" thrown everywhere which slow all requests.

The fact that GQL doesn't provide better constructs around batching/reducing seems like a major failure of its design.
