api server times
Hi,
We have noticed a lot of variable times for our API calls and we are trying to determine whether this is related to just simply server load or whether it is also related to Internet traffic. e.g. if a company is headquartered in Europe, is it likely that their API servers are also in Europe? And since our API calls originate in the US West Coast, how much impact will this have on the call-response times? Is there a way to force the API to look at a US copy of the database?
The particular calls we are talking about are xml-rpc calls, but I don't think that should make a difference. Right?
Anybody else pondered this question and found any answers?
