Well, to get actual impact you'd need infrastructure-wide tracing and that's hard.

Like, you could hit a cache and serve 95% of page from it. Or hit some long path that will burn half a second on 20 servers in the backend to serve some big query

But yeah title is useless

I mean, coralmetrics+pmet has been doing that infrastructure wide tracing for decades (albeit being slowly replaced in spots now).

Back in 2014 they were still sharing a few years old (at that time) detail-level service call graph that had so many nodes and lines it looked like string art.
