This is partially because not all scripts account for response times and code execution time in their delays. HF can be set to a 1s delay, but depending on the response time (greatly affected by how many hits per search) and computer speed to execute the code, it can add an additional 1.5s.

10 HITs +278ms


25 HITs +447ms


100 HITs +708ms


And this is not including TO 1 or TO 2, which that response time will be affected by how many requester ids are being requested, or even none if they were all cached.

So everything being equal, someone scanning 10 HITs gets a request off ever 1.2s while someone scanning 100 HITs gets a request every 1.7s, so in 1 minute the 10 HITs person is doing 50 page requests, while the 100 HIT person is doing 33.3 requests in that same time frame.
This absolutely the best explanation I have seen. Cheers for that.

I just took a picture of a bird outside to try and identify it. I hate birds. That's how my turking is going today.

I just prefer to go this route, but your explanation sounds nice too.

Ugh... there's nothing more I hate, than the sound of annoying birds in the morning. Specifically at 4:45 AM this morning, right outside my window. -_-
