Latency / Throughput/Batching
Kind: tension
Record: tension:latency-throughput-batching
Canonical: Schema
"latency" (performance-core layer) is traded against "Throughput/Batching" (performance-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Throughput/Batching" and choosing an explicit operating point.
