Welp, out comes Truth #2: No matter how hard you push and no matter what the priority, you can't increase the speed of light.

What is the round-trip latency of your GPU, versus the round-trip latency to the cloudy GPU? I am very interested to see how this holds up in comparison to other remote protocols...

I remember it was 25ms last month, but they keep improving

That's very impressive, hat off! I could definitely see a use for this with "thin" clients (netbooks and other obsolete hw).

Hm. "Chrome is a slow browser and we are going to fix it by replacing it with Chrome in the cloud." Feels like a lot of effort to fix something that is broken beyond repair.

Perhaps users would be better served with a browser that is not slow and privacy-intrusive in the first place?
