Latency effects on performance

For networked HSMs, much consideration is afforded to network latency pitfalls, like some routing challenges, number of hops between entities, crowding and noisy-neighbor issues, etc.

Another aspect to consider is the design of your application. To optimize performance and meet the application's throughput requirements:

>Ensure efficient session management. Avoid repeatedly creating and destroying sessions. Use session pooling to minimize that overhead. Consider daemonizing/converting session handling into a background service, to prevent logins for every operation.

>Minimize unnecessary object look-ups and other resource-intensive operations. Cache frequently accessed objects.
