[Bloat] delay-under-load really helps diagnose real world problems

[Simon Barber]

I ran some tests from my cellphone - a Samsung Note 3. I had to select 
'request desktop site' as an option in the chrome browser, and not 
choose '4G' as my connection type (I chose DSL), to get the latency 
measurement to show up. The results are great though.

Download bloat (buffer in the cell site) is bad, but not absolutely 
horrible, at about 1.1 seconds. Upload direction is terrible - 5.8 
seconds by the end of the test, and would probably have been higher 
given a longer test. I'm assuming that this buffer is in the modem in 
the handset, and is likely an almost infinite buffer.
