The latter.
Note: Even sitting at the fat end of an OC3 (as I was this weekend)
I still got horrendous lag from a couple sites. Nothing to do with my
end. Everything to do with a tinpot router with indigestion at their
end.
I want a "best effort" representation from the client which sacrifices
verisimiltude and other forms of fidelity for the sake of performance
when resources get low, be the CPU, bandwidth, whatever.
