What if it’s a virus scan or some background indexer browning out io resources on the disk path, or given it’s a consumer browser, some malware eating up resources unbeknownst to the user of the browser. Surely you’ve experienced noisy neighbors :-)
It’s an interesting approach because it removes the assumption browser caches mask volume for infrastructure purposes rather than user latency. I think you can overwhelm costs for low or no income services. If this is widely adopted we ask the providers of our servers to pay for that latency improvement.
