I suspect real marketing drones would get nervous at a negative-sounding =
name.

My idea - which I=E2=80=99ve floated in the past, more than once - is =
that the metric should be =E2=80=9Cresponsiveness=E2=80=9D, measured in =
Hertz.  The baseline standard would be 10Hz, corresponding to a dumb =
100ms buffer.  Get down into the single-digit millisecond range, as =
fq_codel does, and the Responsiveness goes up above 100Hz, approaching =
1000Hz.

Crucially, that=E2=80=99s a positive sort of term, as well as trending =
towards bigger numbers with actual improvements in performance, and is =
thus more potentially marketable.
