Having the stupidest conversation with my client's EMR vendor.

Them: you need to make this page load faster. We won't allow any frames to load that take over 2s to load.

Me: hmm, 2s is pretty bad. *checks telemetry* weird, our metrics say we're responding in <1ms.

Them: Oh, well it takes us 4s to send you the request and we count the complete lifecycle, including the time it takes us to queue the request, so the total is 4s. Which is too long.

Me: ???

Them: you have to make it faster.
