The amount of extra time needed to sift through network jitter isn't really that huge. It's far less than what people imagine even with basic statistical techniques.



Maybe. My point was that even even network jitter won’t be important, since software processing latencies are much higher. If a server handles another request before your handshake that’s thousands more instructions which obfuscate the result. If it does another TLS handshake before it’s thread might be blocked for several ms before it gets to processing the next thing. That’s all orders of magnitudes higher than any „this tool longer because some bits are different“ measurements
