Hi Luke,
That's some great information. One thing I'm curious about is how these numbers change as the latency between the app and the server increases. What is your current setup in terms of where the server is located compared to the app? Same machine? Local network? Different continents? It might be possible to use networking tools to artificially increase the latency to the server--Andriy on our team did something like this a while back for async testing, so he can probably provide some pointers if needed.
Thanks,
Arthur
